COVID Reminder: Davidson county remains at the “medium” level on the U.S. COVID-19 Community Levels Map, though of course many of us are coming from different parts of the state. Indoor masking is recommended for anyone who is at high risk of getting very sick or who has household or social contacts at high risk for getting very sick. CEDEP encourages staff to wear a mask based on personal preference, informed by personal levels of risk at all community levels.
