We are currently experiencing a public health emergency. Due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Sumner County, I’m requesting and strongly encouraging everyone to maintain social distance and follow all CDC guidelines.
We must act responsible at this time to ensure that our actions do not jeopardize others, such as our elderly population and those among us who have compromised immune systems. We all have a responsibility to work together to counteract the spread of this potentially deadly virus.
There are several things every Sumner County resident should do to help flatten the curve and reduce the impact of COVID-19:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water (or alcohol-based hand sanitizer) for at least 20 seconds, especially after coughing or sneezing
- Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
- Stay home if you are sick or even suspect you are sick, contact your medical provider
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm or a tissue
- Clean and disinfect objects (e.g. cell phone, computer) and high touch surfaces regularly
- Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others
- If cannot maintain social distancing measures, wear a mask when in public places
- Avoid crowds
- During this time, please stay home as much as possible to reduce your risk of being exposed or exposing others
Best Regards and God Bless,
Anthony Holt
