The best way to prevent the spread and contraction of Coronavirus is practicing good personal hygiene:
• Wash your hands thoroughly, and often, with soap and water for 20 seconds;
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Stay home when you’re sick;
• Avoid contact with others who are sick;
• Put distance between yourself and other people. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Maintain social distancing; maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and another person.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue; and
• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

We will continue to remain in contact with health care professionals to determine any and all actions moving forward and will update the community accordingly. Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and patience during this most stressful time.

Richard E. Roach, Jr.
