6 FT DISTANCING RULE AT LDF COUNTRY MARKET
PLEASE FOLLOW THE 6FT DISTANCING RULE AT THE MARKET & GAS STATION. THIS RULE IS FOR YOUR HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF THE STAFF.
What the community should know “Guidelines”.
TRAVELING:
If COVID-19 is spreading at your destination, but not where you live, you may be more likely to get infected if you travel there than if you stayed home.
LDF Tribe issued a “Shelter at Home” order Resolution 103(20) curfew from 10pm – 6AM.
Evaluate your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses in crowded settings, particularly closed-in settings with little air circulation.
CDC recommends that travelers at high risk for COVID-19 complications avoid all cruise travel and nonessential air travel.
You may not realize you are infection if your symptoms are mild or you don’t have a fever.
If you have close contact with someone with COVID-19 during travel, you may be asked to stay home to self-monitor and avoid contact with others for up to 14 days after travel.
If you travel, be sure to take steps to help prevent getting and spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases during travel.
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is spread from person to person.
Clean hands often

Travel between private homes within the state, including seasonal homes or rental cabins, is strongly discouraged. This is for your safety and wellbeing as well as the safety of our rural counties and tribal communities. Non-essential travel outside your current community may spread COVID-19 to areas with very limited health care infrastructure.
Several counties in Wisconsin have issued travel advisories for seasonal and second homeowners. If you choose to travel to a second home in Wisconsin, you should be prepared to immediately self-quarantine for 14 days. You should bring your own groceries and essentials, as self-quarantine does not permit shopping at local stores for supplies.

We need the community members to help relay the message to the people you know that have or continue to travel from areas of concern to voluntary 14-day self-quarantine guidelines.
Social Distancing~~~~ 6ft a part ~~~ < than 10 people = Slows the Spread of Covid-19.
