Staff and the People we serve demonstrate how to properly wear their face masks. It is important to make sure that the face mask covers your mouth and your nose as both of these are ways that the virus can spread when you either cough or sneeze .

Other things are washing our hands , making sure we stay 6ft away from others and sanitizing things after we use them . Together we can all stay healthy and safe.
