SHERIDAN COUNTY MONITORING NOVEL CORONAVIRUS June 25, 2020 UPDATE

As travel increases throughout the summer, we expect to see more positive cases come into the community. Please continue to be vigilant and practice all appropriate hygiene and distancing recommendations. Your hard work protects you, your family, and your community.

  • Avoid close contact (within 6 feet) with those who are sick or may have been exposed.

  • Avoid gatherings of 10 or more people.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
