“While community transmission of COVID-19 remains high in our community, it is important to take all of the preventive measures we can to reduce spread,” says Medical Director Dr. William Nettleton. “That includes getting vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, following quarantine and isolation guidelines, but also proper mask wearing, and when possible, using masks that are most effective at preventing the spread of viruses like COVID-19.”
