“COVID-19 affects all of us, and it is going to take a united effort to reduce and eliminate the spread of this disease,” said Thomas J. Henry.
“As we follow recommendations and guidelines put forth by medical experts, we should also consider what we can do as individuals and community members to aid our healthcare workers and healthcare professionals in their fight against the virus.”
“We are in this together,” Thomas J. Henry added. “Locally, nationally, and globally, we are all part of the solution to COVID-19.”
