"With warmer weather and Stage 4 of the Back On Track Indiana Plan beginning today June 12, the Dubois County Health Department wants to continue to stress the importance of social distancing, wearing a mask, and proper hand hygiene.  While we are optimistic about opening more, guidelines must continue to be followed to prevent the spread of this virus.

Important things to remember is that Centers for Disease Control guidelines for social distancing remain in effect even in larger groups.  Masks and/or facial coverings need to be worn correctly to be effective.   Masks should cover mouth AND nose.  If everyone does their part to slow the spread, we can keep our communities safe.  We are all in this together, the choices we make will shape the days and months ahead of us."
