Although the number of cases of COVID-19 is lower than the past few weeks, don't be fooled. Testing sites were closed for the holiday weekend and we have not seen the outcome of deer hunting and holiday gatherings as of yet. We must all continue to be vigilant and wear masks, stay home when possible, practice physical distancing and wash hands often. 😷😷😷

🚬🚬🚬The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is helping our young people stop #smoking before they even start. The agency changed the federal minimum age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21. The move is expected to save hundreds of thousands of lives as nearly 80% of current adult smokers started smoking before age 18. Call 1-800-QUIT NOW for help going smoke-free, or get more information: dhs.wisconsin.gov/tobacco21 🚬🚬🚬

Please heed this very important advice 🦃🔥🦃🔥🦃🔥🦃
This Thanksgiving, skip the turkey fryer. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) discourages the use of turkey fryers, which can easily tip over, cause burns, or even ignite. If that's STILL not enough to get you away from the fryer, be prepared with these tips to use a turkey fryer as safely as possible.
Here's an awesome opportunity to keep your Thanksgiving safe this year!!! As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Nov. 26 through 6 a.m. ET on Nov. 27 so your family gatherings don't get cut short. ❤️🏡 #ZoomTogether

Our COVID-19 numbers continue to explode which has made it impossible for staff to inform contacts of our positive clients. Moving forward, all positive clients are being asked to contact all of their close contacts for us. A contact is someone that the positive person has been within 6 feet of for 15 minutes total for a day, had physical contact with or is living with . We need everyone's help. To remain anonymous and still notify close contacts, visit www.tellyourcontacts.org.
#InThisTogether #StayHome #WearAMask #Stay6FtApart #WashHandsOften
On this Veterans Day may we all stop to remember and honor ALL who have served our country 🇺🇸 We are humbled and grateful for your service 🇺🇸
