The City recently posted 100 signs promoting face covering in parks and public areas. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 infection rate is on the rise, making masks more important than ever, along with handwashing and self-quarantine in the event of symptoms or exposure to somebody who has tested positive or has symptoms. Thank you for your cooperation.
