As members of the City/County Emergency Response Team, which includes doctors & the CEO of TRMC, MPEDC is echoing the City’s strongly-worded reminder to stay home.
What does staying at home look like? Send one person (not multiple, especially not children if possible) to Walmart. Order groceries online from Brookshires and ALDI. Order takeout at your own risk but dump the food onto your own plates and throw away bags and containers immediately and wash your hands. Pretend everything coming into your house has glitter on it and the goal is to not have a single speck of glitter in your home or on your body.

CYBER TIP OF THE MONTH
Hackers use panic to trick people, and COVID-19 is the hot new topic to use against you. Avoid clicking on links. Go straight to reliable sources for coronavirus information, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) & the Center for Disease Control (CDC). – via Mount Pleasant Police Dept.
