Though more of our residents are receiving the vaccine, we still need to continue to practice prevention methods. Wear a mask that goes over your nose AND mouth. Keep at least 6ft between yourself and others. Avoid crowds and gatherings. Wash your hands often or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Stay home when you are sick. Reduce contact and the length of time you spend with those who do not live in your household.
