THANK YOU to everyone that is wearing their masks, it has made a difference !!

I think it is showing that you as a community is working to make this better!! We must keep this effort up!

County commissioners voted on resolution 20-3 that accepts the Governors 20-68 on Mandatory Masks in public areas. With the stipulation that it be reviewed by Jan 11th, 2021.

We are asking you to PLEASE HELP us slow this down!!

We need your help to slow this down and HELP us keep our schools open.

HOSPITALS continue to be full, or close to full.

BE SAFE

Social Distance as much as possible.

Wash your hands often

Think MASK if you are to be in crowds and unable to social distance.

Keep your gatherings small and social distance.

This will take a Community effort to help slow this down.

Be safe, wear a mask or face covering and protect yourself, as well as the ones you love. And remember- if you feel ill, STAY HOME!

WABAUNSEE COUNTY has a new website !! It will go live Dec. 22nd . www.wbcounty.org

This website should a lot easier to find the information that you are looking for. There is also a tab button for COVID-19 updates, simply click it and I will update that tab with Wab Co numbers on Mon, Wed and Fri. in that afternoon after the states puts out their numbers.

Please all of us a little slack as we learn to work with this new website. But it should be easier for you to use and easier for us to keep updated.

Have a safe weekend !!
