Arber reminds residents they should:

■Wear cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures and other hygiene practices are difficult to maintain.

■Stay at least 6 feet away from others to minimize exposure.

■Anyone who is high risk for more severe COVID-19 illness should continue to stay home.

■Stay home when even mildly ill (the kind of illness that normally wouldn’t prevent you from your everyday activities)

■Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow/upper arm.

■Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
