From the Public Health Nurse
- COVID-19 infections continue to be a concern in our community. Many of use are so tired of the restrictions the COVID-19 virus has placed on us, but I am hopeful that if one is, OR is in the presence of an, immunocompromised person, one would wear a mask.
- Social distancing is also recommended for the above scenario, that is, maintaining a distance of 6 feet or greater
- Hand washing has always been the most helpful way to help prevent the spread of any infection!
- Stay home if you are sick
- There are free COVID-19 in home tests kits available today. They are wrapped in packets of two boxes, which equal a total of 4 test. Please take only one packet so that all might have some!
- Attached to the packet wrapping is an introduction to the new Public Health Nurses and a list if the services and support groups. The goal of the Public Health Nurse is to branch out to the care of young families. We hope to host a wellness fair in mid-October, keep an eye out for further information on the town web site @ rehobothma.gov/public-health-nurse
