How we can all be masked heroes
Posted: 5/18/2020
Wearing a face covering is one simple step anyone can take to help keep others safe.
Because people with COVID-19 could be asymptomatic — displaying no symptoms — it's important that everyone wears a mask to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. The face covering is a way to stop the wearer from potentially spreading the virus — not necessarily to protect the person donning the mask. This is one way we can help protect the population vulnerable to this disease.
It is also mandated by New York state that everyone wear a mask when in public and within six feet of others. Please take the simple step of wearing a mask. The more we act now, the sooner we can begin to resume gatherings and all the fun social activities we love in the Lake George region.
Watch the video below from Centers for Disease Control & Prevention on properly donning (putting on) and doffing (taking off) your mask.

We are proud to join Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce in an effort to ask the community to wear masks. We've signed on as an endorser of this community appeal. So nice to see many of our members have signed on as well to be part of this campaign! We're continually inspired by our local business community.
