We are asking families to do the best they can in a very difficult situation. Gunnison County has community spread of the COVID19 virus. This virus can be passed by people who do not show symptoms. Given this situation and to protect our most vulnerable people and health care system, it is strongly recommended that families reduce social contact with other families. Consider your home and the people that live with you to be a small unit, like a small island. Keep that island as physically isolated as possible. Play dates, watching each-others kids, sleep-overs, teenagers hanging out together are all very risky activities for spreading the virus.
