All of us at MEDB wish good health to everyone in our community in these difficult times. We would like to reinforce the new rules announced by the Mayor to keep residents safe and healthy during the fight against the spread of COVID-19, starting with staying at home and working from home except for essential activities and business, or government operations. Travel likewise should be minimized. We should all avoid any private or public gatherings outside the home, and wherever you are, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and often.
Announcing the restrictions effective March 25th, Mayor Victorino announced, “Decisive action is needed to stem the spread of COVID-19 and protect our healthcare resources, our hospital beds, respirators and the health and safety of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. I humbly ask all of us to do our part to flatten the curve and come together as a community.”
Essential activities during this period include those essential to maintain health and safety (such as visiting a doctor or getting medicine), getting food or pet food and necessary home supplies, caring for a family member in another household or caring for the elderly, minors, dependents, those with disabilities or other vulnerable persons, performing essential business or government work, or taking part in solitary outdoor exercise (running, walking, hiking).
