CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Commissioners and the Penn Highlands Hospital system would like to remind citizens that even though the local area is in ‘green phase,’ it is important to continue to take precautions to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The Clearfield County Commissioners and Shaun Sheehan, D.O. emergency services medical director, Penn Highlands Healthcare, issued the following statement Friday afternoon:
“We encourage everyone to wear masks in group settings or while inside public buildings; wash hands regularly; stay home if you feel sick; and minimize close contact with our most at-risk citizens (examples include the elderly, and those with compromised immense systems).
“We also encourage you to avoid large gatherings as much as possible. Large gatherings provide opportunities for the disease to spread very quickly. If you must attend a large gathering, please wear a mask and minimize close contact with others.
“Thank you all for continuing to work together to slow the spread of COVID-19.”
