What you can do

---

Staying 6-feet away from others is the best way to prevent further spread of the virus. 

Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. This is the best way to prevent the spread of any infectious bacteria. Make this a habit regardless!

Pro tip: Always have hand sanitizer on hand, in case soap and water is not obtainable. 

Face coverings have been proven to help slow the spread of COVID-19, when combined with physical distancing and sanitizing. You should wear a mask anytime you are in a public or group setting to prevent the spread. 

For those who have not been vaccinated, try your best to stay home. If you have been exposed, start self-quarantining until your test results come back. If you are positive, stay isolated from healthy individuals. As for those who have received both rounds of the vaccination, as of February 10, 2021, the CDC has updated its quarantine guidance for those who are fully vaccinated.

If you are able to, donate what you can to the local Springfield community. This is a time to help each other in any way we can. By working together, our community will get through this. 

Here is a list of places to donate to in the community to help the homeless and senior citizens. 

There are different phases to the COVID-19 relief plan for our country. Make it a priority to get vaccinated when you are allowed to, therefore we can go back to the best sense of "normalcy" in our lives. Here is more information about vaccination in Greene Country.
