“We are slowly opening our community," said Public Health Officer and Incident Commander Dr. Carol Calderwood. "This will be a telling time. It can take from 9 – 14 days before COVID-19 symptoms appear. We know that social distancing is the ONLY precaution against COVID-19. It is up to us. Distancing and personal health recommendations are still in place. If you don’t feel comfortable, remove yourself from the situation. Remind people, nicely, they are infringing in your space."
