Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are low now though it's still with us. Flu is high right now.
Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test. It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable. Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.
