Message from Monroe County Public Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza: Social distancing, social distancing, social distancing. I cannot stress it enough. We realize that it is an unnatural thing to do, but our early data suggests that it is working. By continuing to buy into this practice together, we can help flatten Monroe County’s curve and potentially save countless lives along the way.
