Friends,
I hope you are staying well and safe during this unprecedented time. Despite Governor Kemp opening up Georgia, I urge you to stay home except for essentials, wash hands, follow social (physical) distancing guidelines of at least 6 feet, use face coverings in public settings and to rely on guidance from the CDC 9 (cdc.gov).DeKalb County has the second highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state and staying home is the most effective measure we have to prevent the spread and save lives. City of Decatur operations remain closed to the public. Safe social reopening of our communities is dependent upon our compliance with this guidance as well as the availability of widespread testing and contact tracing protocols. Even after the testing and contact tracing are in place, we must continue to protect ourselves and our neighbors to keep our community safe. Let’s remain vigilant in our fight against COVID-19.
Some good news to share:
