Although, as of February 2021, case numbers are going in the right direction, health experts advise that we cannot let our guard down or ease up on mask-wearing and social distancing measures. There is still much uncertainty about new variant coronavirus strains and how they may impact our communities. The risk of exposure and spread is still extremely high. Please remember to always wear a mask, practicing social distancing, wash your hands frequently, stay home if you're sick, and only gather with people who live in your own household.

It is also important to wear your mask snugly against your face so that there are no gaps to allow droplets to escape or enter.
The CDC offers these updated tips to improve how your mask protects yourself and others.
