WV DHHR COVID-19 UPDATE...18 January 2021

 Good afternoon all! Here it is Monday the 18th. I hope you are celebrating , or honoring, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! I love his "I Have A Dream" Speech. I think that after almost 60 years since then, that he would be absolutely abhorred with the way those 60 years have been turned back, especially in the last year! Whites against blacks, and vice versa! Let's put this in our hearts and make a real effort to spread it about. Remember that our skins do not define who we are. They are meerly colors. We are all brothers and sisters. We must love one another if we desire heaven.We can make a difference!!!

So, on with the update!

PLEAASE: When leaving home wear a mask that covers both your nose and your mouth. I've been asked that you check to make sure your mask is not upside down! The blue paper masks are blue on the correct side, and white on the back side. Please put the white side against your skin. If you are wearing a cloth mask, it really won't matter which side, unless it has a filter in it, then follow the makers directions.

Practice social distancing. Keep 6 to 8 feet between you and the next person.

Practice frequent handwashing under running water and with handsoap. If running water is unavailable, you may use hand sanitizer.

Do not attend gatherings of people. Do not congregate. It is okay to attend church if you can sit in your car and listen (I know several area churches are doing this). But do not congregate inside a church. Nor reunions, birthday parties, etc. s

Have a great day everyone! God bless you all!
