“Again, we must understand that we are in this together.  The threat of the COVID-19 pandemic is still real.  Yes, we are seeing a reduction in the number of daily infections but that doesn’t mean that we are out of the woods.  We’re still pretty much within that sphere of virus spreading and we don’t want to have a third wave.  So we all must play our individual role by acting responsibly in complying with the protocols put in place to ensure our safety.”
