COVID-19 is still with us and likely will remain for the foreseeable future. But we are in a much different place. 

We know more now. We have vaccines that are extremely safe and effective in preventing serious disease and death. We also have oral medications that help prevent progression of disease, should you get infected.

However, it remains important for you to continue to take steps to protect our community. When you're sick, stay home, wear a mask around others and wash your hands frequently. 

When do I need to wear a mask in public?

If you are sick, or immunocompromised, please wear a mask in public. 

We strongly encourage you to take precautions based on your community's transmission rates, and follow the guidelines below.
