Getting ‘Back to Normal’ Is Going to Take All of Our Tools

If we use all the tools we have, we stand the best chance of getting our families, communities,

schools, and workplaces “back to normal” sooner:

Get vaccinated.

Stay 6 feet from others, and avoid crowds.

Wear a mask.

Wash hands often.
