As we move into June, we continue to experience new and changing challenges that accompany the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast with the couple months prior, starting in early May we aligned with the Governor's plan for Phase 1 reopening, which included pools and beaches with restaurants at limited capacity to follow. Many other non-essential businesses that were closed have now been able to resume business following strict guidelines and limited capacity, including hair and nail salons, as well as vacation rentals.
While the curve appears to have flattened in our area and things are slowly returning to a new normal, it is still critical that our citizens are mindful of social distancing and not only remain 6 feet apart but also continue to wear masks for everyone's safety. Your cloth face-covering protects not only you but others around you. It is our duty to be good citizens and care for others in our community, and I continue to be amazed by the heartwarming stories of compassion during these challenging times throughout our great City of Dunedin!
