In today’s announcement of the latest infection county, the Health Department repeated its urge that residents make sure they are doing their part to reduce the spread of the deadly virus. “Residents should always wear a face covering securely over their nose and mouth and keep six feet apart from others not in their household when out in public and wash hands frequently,” the Health Department said. “Everyone should avoid the Three Cs: Crowded places, Confined spaces and Close contact with others not in your household. Public Health reminds everyone that you remain safer at home.”
Residents must wear face coverings when out in public and can be cited for not doing so. The citations come with a $250 fine and a $50 administrative fee.
