As the pandemic accompanies us all into the 2021 year, we wanted to provide our teams with updated information from the CDC in regards to how we can protect ourselves, our co-workers, and our families moving forward. The CDC currently is recommending mask wearing (regardless of individual state mask mandate requirements), limiting gathering in large numbers, making hand hygiene a priority, maintaining 6 ft of distance between yourself and others, and getting the Covid-19 vaccination once it becomes available to you. As we all are becoming weary with the precautions, we urge you to please stay vigilant as a promising breakthrough is not too far away if we all do our part. Below are a few resource to refresh you on the latest news/data directly from the CDC and State of Florida.
