The Warm Springs Covid-19 Response celebrates with our Community- low positives for the week. We worked hard to get to these lower numbers and let’s keep on grinding to: wear masks, social
distance, avoid gatherings, wash hands often, avoid hot spots and if sick, stay home. If told by
Community Health nurse to ISOLATE or QUARANTINE—follow directions.

Please invest your CARES/Covid-19 Emergency and Disaster Relief to meet the needs caused by the impacts of Covid-19. It is to help with loss of income; increased costs of health precautions and care; increased costs of living; added costs for personal and household safety; costs of dependent care—continue taking care of yourself, your family and battling this deadly disease.

STAY HOME, STAY SAFE
