Get vaccinated to lower your risks and to lessen the chance of spreading the virus to others; wear your mask when you are out’; social distance at events, work, and when around others not part of your household. Any person not fully vaccinated at least 14 days within the last 3 months and asymptomatic will have to quarantine.
