COVID-19 Information
The Rules are Changing Fast
It is important to note that the CDC and OSHA guidelines for COVID-19 are rapidly changing. Therefore, it is important to think about not only your personal safety, but also the safety of others.
Whether the vaccine is available or a mask is required, you will be faced with personal choices. Coming up with a solution means making a very personal decision.
In other words, to help give aid based on the general setting, several governing bodies have issued – and continue to issue – guidance to keep people safe.
