“Coronavirus cases are surging throughout the state and region. We can get a handle on this crisis before it gets out of hand again, but we will have to make small sacrifices in order to get there. For the time being, please forgo small indoor gatherings even if you believe all of the guests to be healthy. Until this pandemic is over, we have to minimize our close contact with others in order to stop the virus from spreading.”
