PERCENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 of the position we are in right now, and take every precaution we can to continue to slow the spread. Even though we live in a rural area and are working hard to distance ourselves as recommended, we can’t let our guard down. It’s tough to keep modifying our routines and staying away from each other. The beautiful weather and our desire to interact socially make it even tougher, but we will continue to ask for your help. Please follow the social distancing requests that have been communi- cated throughout our area. We believe it is making a difference. Keep it up!”
