“I understand there is ‘pandemic fatigue,’ but your choices will make a difference in the health of your families and friends – as well as the economic recovery of our community. These decisions need to include wearing a mask, washing your hands, staying home if you are sick, getting tested if you have been exposed and avoiding large group settings indoors,” stated Nafziger.
