Case updates October 19, 2020; reduce the impact of staying indoors

“As COVID-19 activity intensifies, it’s incredibly important that we all take precautions to reduce the impact of seasonal changes like spending more time indoors,” said Secretary of Health John Wiesman.

“We must be especially careful to avoid gathering in groups inside, including with family and friends outside of our immediate household. 

"That includes limiting group size, gathering outside or improving ventilation inside, cleaning and washing hands frequently, wearing face coverings (including inside our homes) and staying over six feet apart.”
