“We cannot let our guard down when it comes to this virus, the numbers clearly show that this isn’t over,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “As many people plan to gather for the holidays, please use common sense. If you’re feeling sick, don’t go. If you’re interacting with people outside of your household in a crowded space, wear a mask that fits tightly over your mouth and nose. And importantly, get vaccinated and get your booster shot.”
