Stay Safe This Weekend Remember Mask Up And Social Distance If You Go Out

This weekend the weather is going to be great which means people including you may be out and about. With Phase 3 we are now able to go to a bar or restaurant that has inside or outside dining which a lot of us have been anticipating and are ready to get out!

When you are out with your family and friends enjoy yourself of course, but make sure you are all staying safe first and foremost.

If the restaurant or the bar does not enforce the proper protection guidelines you should still use caution by protecting yourself with a face covering. This week there was a positive coronavirus exposure at a local bar on Park Ave. because some people were not wearing masks. So be aware you could come in contact with someone who has the virus while you are out.

Remember to protect yourself and your circle. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and social distance.

We want you to be safe and understand that anyone young or old can get this virus.
