Protect Yourself and Others
There are things we can do to protect ourselves and others from getting COVID-19. Getting vaccinated and boosted, wearing a mask, testing often, watching our distance, washing our hands, and staying home when sick, are all proven strategies for helping to slow the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, like Delta and Omicron.

WEAR YOUR MASK.
