DIRECTOR’S COMMENT

There seems to be many folks out there that have a cure for COVID-19. Keep in mind that there is NO CURE at this time. There are several drugs that the CDC and other official organizations are testing and researching to see how those drugs lessen the effects of COVID-19. If you are going to post cures on social media and folks try some of these methods and it doesn’t work, do you know you could be held legally accountable for anything that could go wrong. Unless you are a physician or researcher working with the CDC and others and have explicit permission to put information out to the public, DON’T POST OR REPOST information that may not be true. It’s a legal thing, just sayin!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
