    When it comes to preventing the spread of #COVID19, it's crucial to only buy what your family needs; no more than a two-week supply. This allows grocery stores time to restock and it ensures that the people around you have what they need to remain virus-free. #COVID19GA

    Well-fitting masks are still one of the best tools we have against #COVID19. Even after vaccination, please continue to wear your mask when in public places – your neighbors thank you for being considerate. #StoptheSpread
