I am sharing my ugly mask photo with all of you to encourage you to adhere to the new CDC guidance to wear masks when you are out at the grocery store or pharmacy.

I’d like to share some of the information from that call, a Wednesday call with the white house and the Governor’s daily briefings.

Last week, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, and it was signed into law by President Trump on Friday.

I hope you are all managing through these difficult times, staying home and staying safe. Tomorrow night, I will be going live on Facebook to chat with you, answer your questions and be a listening ear.

A number of organizations have offered up resources and training to those local businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are living through a surreal time in history, one full of anxiety and uncertainty. While we may welcome unexpected time together with family members, the challenge of being in the house working, learning and living all together can be overwhelming at times.

Many of you have asked me what you can do in the face of this crisis. Our priority is that you Stay Home and Stay Safe. For those who are safely able to help, there are three areas of tremendous need.

Earlier today, the Governor announced the Stay Home Stay Safe plan to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
