• IMPORTANCE OF WEARING MASKS, GETTING TESTED AND CONTACT TRACING

‍

o We all know that wearing masks/face coverings protects you from others and protects others from you

‍

o Getting tested is equally important so that you know your status

‍

o Answering your phone is imperative as well, because it could be a contact tracer calling to inform you that you’ve been in contact with someone who is positive

‍

o All of this will help us to continue to control the spread of COVID-19

‍

o So remember 1) WEAR MASK, 2) GET TESTED, 3) HELP WITH CONTACT TRACING BY ANSWERING YOUR PHONE
