Case updates; Fall may bring increased COVID-19 activity

“As the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors, we must all take precautions to reduce the risk of COVID-19,” said State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy. 

“If you gather inside with people outside your household, it’s critical to keep the group as small as possible. 

"Limit the length of time you spend together and the number of gatherings you have. Everyone should wear face coverings and stay at least six feet apart. 

"Opening windows can also improve ventilation, even if it means wearing extra layers to stay warm.”
