City of New Smyrna Beach issued the following announcement.
We understand that people are tired, but public health measures are not the enemy -- they are the roadmap for a faster and more sustainable recovery. Scientists and medical professionals have developed and are preparing to distribute a safe and effective vaccine that will help us eliminate the virus as quickly as possible and return to a strong economy, open schools, and normal day-to-day activities.
In the meantime, we all have a personal responsibility to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect our friends and family from the pandemic. The science is clear. There is no doubt that mask wearing, hand washing, and social distancing reduce the spread of COVID-19 and saves lives.
Follow these tips:
- Wear a mask that covers your mouth AND nose.
- Stay at least 6 feet apart from people you don’t live with.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Consider outdoor space.
