       HAVE a Safe EASTER HOLIDAY WEEKEND

 We are faced with unpreceded times dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.  We cannot let our guard down!

The Easter holiday normally would be a time to celebrate with your family and friends; however, with this pandemic hovering upon us we must stay vigilant and practice social distancing & no social gatherings or recreational activities (with those that do not reside in your home with you).

Park playground equipment and ball courts are off limit.  Please do not allow your children to play on the equipment as it can pose risk of spreading this virus.

Find other ways to communicate with your extended family and friends i.e. social media; share pictures, videos, facetime, Instagram, etc.)  Happy Easter!!

STAY HOME!   WASH YOUR HANDS!   COVER YOUR COUGH!

 

 

  • Ø Only socialize with your family members that live with you.  This absolutely includes not letting your children play or be in contact with other children (even relatives) that do not live in the same household, both indoors and outdoors. (including Playground Equipment and Playing Basket Ball-close contact)
  • Ø Minimize travel and designate one family to run essential errands (shopping and appointments, etc.).
  • Ø Remember you may not have the symptoms but can be passing the virus to others. These practices will minimize the spread of the virus. 
  • Ø  Shelter-At-Home declaration guidelines, daily updates and other resources can be found at   LDFTribe.com
