CORONAVIRUS RESOURCES:
“There is still a lot of transmission in this area and we must be very vigilant,” said Dr. David Dowdy of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. “This is not going to go away and we all have to do our part.”
“It is more difficult for us to control, and that we really depend more and more on everyone following the rules, wearing a mask and keeping [your] distance, “added Dr. Dowdy.
