  Maintaining Well-Being During Social Distancing | Lark HealthSOCIAL DISTANCING – means to not be around other people.  Don’t visit relatives, don’t hang out with friends, don’t congregate in parks.   Also, when you have to shop for essential items such as groceries and medicines, remember to maintain a 6 foot distance from other shoppers and don’t touch things in the store except the items you are purchasing.  After you leave the store sanitize your hands with liquid sanitizer or clorox wi pes as soon as possible.  Either have some in your car or immediately when you get home.  DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE (eyes, mouth, nose etc)

 

This is a very sad situation we are dealing with.  However, if we hold strong and follow the CDC guidelines we can conquer this and get back to a more normal lifestyle as soon as possible.  

 

Sheriff, Frank Williamson

Please advise families to use individuals to shop for them, especially for groceries.
There is no reason for an entire family, children and all, to enter a grocery store. Togetherness in this situation is not worth dying (or killing your family) for.
