As Dr. Henry said today, we are in βfine balanceβ between maintaining this pandemic under control, and potentially risking a new surge in cases. As we move into Phase 3, it is critical that we all re-commit 100% to social distancing measures. We owe it to our health care workers, and those most vulnerable to the virus.
Be safe. Be well.
