Even though this is a holiday weekend, people should stay vigilant and adhere to the Stay at Home order. This is not the time to let your guard down and have family dinners, attend congregational services or hold Easter egg hunts. Traveling could bring the COVID-19 virus to your home and community. Stay at home, keep apart, limit your exposure and who might be exposed to you. Physical distancing remains the most important thing you can do to protect yourself and others.
