We also encourage everyone to follow these guidelines to reduce their risk of getting sick and prevent the spread of the virus to others:

• Cover your cough or sneeze
• Stay home if you are sick
• Avoid touching your face
• Try alternatives to shaking hands, like an elbow bump or wave, or a simple kind nod of the head
• If you have recently returned from a country, state or region with ongoing COVID-19 infections, monitor your health and follow the instructions by public health officials.

We are very grateful to our wonderful ACCI community and wish you all health and safety during these difficult and uncertain times.

Be safe, be well and Make Art!
