This underscores the progress we have made and the impact that successful social distancing and public health measures can have on this pandemic. We can keep these numbers down if we continue to keep apart, practice good hand hygiene, and wear a mask when in public. We have to stay vigilant in this fight to prevent a resurgence of coronavirus in our community, and that starts with each of us doing our part to stop the spread.”
