*With Cases Remaining High, Public Health Encourages Safety Precautions Over Fourth of July Weekend*
As many residents are making plans to enjoy travel and celebrations for the long Fourth of July weekend, there are several sensible safety measures everyone can take to enjoy this holiday. One of the most important steps residents can take to slow the spread of the disease is to make sure the entire household is vaccinated or boosted, if eligible, including the youngest children who can now get the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine if they are at least 6 months old.
Residents can also reduce the chance of getting or spreading COVID-19 by wearing a mask and doing an at-home test before indoor gatherings and events. If someone does test positive or feel sick, they should stay away from others to prevent infecting others. As residents celebrate this weekend, everyone is encouraged to make an effort to protect friends, family members, and co-workers who may be at elevated risk.
