NO arguing the fact that COVID-19 has forced us all to shift our daily lives into living a new normal. COVID-19 isn’t going away. We all are seeing “social distancing fatigue” and impromptu gatherings as the weather gets nicer. Dubois County Health Department is asking everyone to just step it up a notch because not only do we have a responsibility to protect ourselves, but we also have a responsibility to protect others. Maintain social distancing. Wear a cloth face covering when out in public. Wash your hands often and cover your cough. Stay home if you are sick and avoid contact with people who are sick. #BackOnTrack #TogetherWeThrive #InThisTogether
