Each of us needs to do what we can to keep ourselves and the Nelsonville community healthy. We ask the leaders of all organizations in our City to make sound, informed decisions based on the mitigation strategy communicated by the experts at the CDC, Ohio Department of Health and the Athens City-County Health Department to protect the most at-risk population.
Please take reasonable steps to avoid, postpone or cancel large non-essential events and socially distance ourselves in public. We ask that everyone continue to practice patience, understanding, and empathy, for there is no one unaffected by these disruptions.
With our healthcare system being taxed. We should ask ourselves, “What can I do to reduce the stress on the system?” (Hint: get a COVID-19 vaccine and booster, good hygiene, social distancing, get a flu shot – not to protect you from COVID-19 but to reduce the likelihood you would need medical care).
