Protect Yourself and Others

To maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission. 

Stay safe and protect each other by taking simple steps such as social distancing, wearing face masks, washing your hands, getting vaccinated, staying home when you are sick, increasing outdoor airflow when indoors, and getting tested if you were around someone with COVID-19.
