I want to encourage everyone to follow the CDC’s recommendations to use face coverings to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

I sat in my vehicle watching people going in and out of a large store in Gadsden this weekend. 53 people came out without a face covering or mask of any kind. 

17 came out with some face covering or mask. 

If you must go out of your home for essential trips like to the grocery store or pharmacy, please follow social distancing guidelines, and please cover your face. The CDC has a variety of easy DIY options you can use if you don’t have a mask. 

Please help slow and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in our community.  

In addition to wearing a mask, I urge you to follow the public health guidelines, especially washing your hands, not touching your face, and avoiding unnecessary contact with other people.

Thank you all for your help in slowing and stoping this pandemic. You are the City of Champions -
