Slowing the spread of COVID-19

Click the title to view full document.

It’s important to realize that even though Macon County has no active cases of COVID-19 at this time, we have surrounding counties with active cases. There have been over 270 cases in our region with over 70 of those currently active.

As the Governor stated, “avoid large, congested crowds, and if you can’t social distance, take extra precautions to protect yourself and those around you.  We all know how to do this now, and it is up to us to take responsibility for our own actions.”

COVID-19 symptoms have mutated to mirror those of a common cold or flu.  Maintaining community health minimizes the spread of the virus and other diseases. This can be accomplished by following good practices such as avid handwashing, wearing a mask in public, and social distancing.
