If you must celebrate Thanksgiving with others who are not in your household, please remember six things: wear a mask, keep your distance, keep it brief, wash your hands often, visit in a well-ventilated area (outside is best), and by all means, stay home if you are sick, have been told to quarantine, or have tested positive for COVID-19.
There will be no report Thursday or Friday. The Scurry County Health Unit will continue working and monitoring throughout the Thanksgiving holiday and the weekend, but will also spend some much-needed time with their families.
Please keep our first responders and healthcare staff in your thoughts as they continue working and serving our community throughout the holiday in these difficult circumstances.
Stay well, stay safe, and take care of your family, friends, and neighbors.

With this in mind, please follow CDC guidelines to slow the spread.
1. Wear a mask when around others who do not live in your household.
2. Stay 6 feet away from others whenever possible (when it isn't, wear a mask properly - over your mouth and nose.)
3. Stay home when you are sick, have been asked to quarantine, or have tested positive for COVID-19).
4. Wash your hands often. Use hand sanitizer if it's not possible to wash your hands.
Know how it spreads:
COVID-19 spreads easily from person to person, mainly by the following routes:
• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or talks.
• Respiratory droplets cause infection when they are inhaled or deposited on mucous membranes, such as those that line the inside of the nose and mouth.
• People who are infected but do not have symptoms can also spread the virus to others.
Less common ways COVID-19 can spread:
• Under certain circumstances (for example, when people are in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation), COVID-19 can sometimes be spread by airborne transmission.
• COVID-19 spreads less commonly through contact with contaminated surfaces.
