Once again, please share!!  There is absolutely no reason why our county should not be leading the pack with our % of population vaccinated, but instead we are STILL closer to the bottom. (and no, I haven’t forgotten to update this….we are still at the bottom!)

MASK UPDATE
We have had multiple calls from various concerned citizens about mask updates.  These are from workplaces, churches, restaurant customers, etc.  The mask mandate is STILL required in public places.   It is likely that not ALL your employees, patrons, customers, congregation have been fully vaccinated.   Please continue to take precautions.  We, as a county, have a very low positivity rate right now.  We had that over the summer and then had an explosion of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the fall.  That is something no one wants to repeat.  We are still in Phase 4 Guidance.
