Lee Health and the Lee County Government are asking us all to join the “Together, we can” campaign. The campaign states that protecting what – and who – we love takes all of us. The campaign stresses that we all practice the CDC guidelines of social distancing, wearing a face covering in public, avoiding touching your face, coughing and sneezing in your elbow and disinfecting “high touch” surfaces. Lee County has produced their first video promoting the campaign; you can view it here. Let’s join in this effort to overcome this dreadful virus – together, we can! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeykVxfvwCw
