Independence Day is a celebration of our country’s freedom and we all want to celebrate the 4th of July with family and friends. Often this includes large gatherings and the Daviess County Health Department (DCHD) wants you to be mindful of the rising number of COVID-19 cases.
“I cannot stress enough about hand washing and social distancing, which is hard sometimes in a large crowd,” says DCHD Administrator Cheryl Alexander. “If you are a person with health issues already, please stay home as you are at the highest risk. Wearing a mask will also give you protection but not if you are not practicing good hygiene and continually touch your face and mask.”
We are all hoping for a turn around and want things to return to normal but until we see our numbers coming down and we are able to give a vaccine, we need to keep safety first.
“Remember it is not always about us, it is about your neighbors, family and friends being protected too,” says Alexander.
Daviess County has nine cases of COVID-19 with four of those active and five recovered.
