“It is essential that we follow the New York State mandate to stay at home and stop the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing in public spaces is critical to protecting the health and safety of ourselves and each other,” said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “Federal officials are confident that Social Distancing is an effective practice in preventing the spread of COVID-19. As your local elected officials, we cannot stress enough, the importance of following the guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control. WASH YOUR HANDS. KEEP 6 FEET APART when outside the home, and if you’re sick, STAY HOME and SELF ISOLATE,” added the Supervisor. “Our health care workers are waging the fight of their lives in order to save ours and those of our loved-ones. We must do our part to prevent area hospitals from becoming overwhelmed and from having to make life or death decisions,” added the Supervisor. “And please remember, we are in this together…but 6 feet apart.”
