Today @NYCHealthCommr issued an advisory as the City approaches the high #COVID19 Alert Level. All New Yorkers should wear masks in all indoor public settings. Those at high risk of severe illness should avoid crowded settings and limit get-togethers: on.nyc.gov/3t0CR55
ALT Text reads: #COVID-19 Advisory. Wear a mask in all indoor public settings, including at groceries, building lobbies, offices, stores and other common or shared spaces. All masks should cover the nose and mouth. Higher-quality masks, such as KN95 and KF94 masks and N95 respirators, can offer additional protection. If you are at high risk of severe illness, are over 65, or are unvaccinated, take additional precautions. Avoid crowded settings and non-essential get-togethers.

My heart and thoughts are with those injured and being treated at local hospitals.
