Wishing you a safe Easter Holiday!!

Don’t forget STAY STRONG- STAY HOME- STAY SAFE!

       -----stop the spread of covid-19-----

THIS is not a normal Easter holiday we cannot celebrate the same way we did a year ago, it’s a drastic change to family traditions and gatherings but we need to be vigilant and practice social distancing & no social gatherings or recreational activities (with those that do not reside in your home with you).

 It means celebrating with only the family members that would live with you.  We understand this is not our traditional way of sharing food and celebrating; however, it has to be this way now so all your family will be together when we get through this challenge!

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
