Two new cases of COVID- 19 in Cass County

Hello, Friends-

The Cass County Health Department has reported two additional positive cases of COVID-19, both of them from Harrisonville. That puts our county total at 27.

Remember, you are your greatest defense against this virus! I know you are familiar with the CDC recommendations regarding personal hygiene and social (physical) distancing, so I won't repeat them here. I will share some advice I came across today related to grocery shopping.

-Stay home if you are sick. Consider home or meal delivery or have someone shop for you.

-Go shopping at a time that is less busy.
-Use sanitizing wipes to clean and disinfect grocery carts and baskets.

-Use a Q-tip to tap the credit/debit machine. Avoid using cash to reduce transmission through money.

-Use curbside pick-up or grocery delivery services.

-Keep social distance while in the store. Six feet or two arms-length from shoppers or store employees.

-Bring a hand sanitizer to use on your hands before and after shopping.

-Use self- checkout lanes when possible to limit contact with store employees.

-Don’t use cloth bags.

-When you return home, wash your hands after handling packages and putting things away.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay home.
