I encourage everyone living in Reno to be tested at the Free Community Testing Events.   Log on to  https://www.renogov.org/767/Get-Tested, for more information and directions as to how to sign up.  We need our community to take responsibility to social distance, wear a mask, wash hands, and stay home when ill. 

New Initiatives in Reno County to help slow the spread of Covid-19 are below:

Cut Off Covid 10-Day Challenge – challenge is to change behavior

• Wear a Mask and Social distance 6 feet at all times in indoor spaces (outside of your home), plus maintain at least 6 feet of distance outdoors.
• Avoid being indoors with non-household members except for school, work that can’t be done from home, and activities deemed absolutely essential.
• Work from home, if possible, and hold meetings online rather than in person.
• Hold gatherings online rather than in person, and avoid situations that involve singing, refreshments, and other high-risk activities.
