OXFORD - Southwestern Public Health has outlined which activities present a low, medium and high risk of spreading COVID-19 in the community.
The information was posted on their Facebook last Thursday, listing a variety of activities.
They say low risk activities are things like practicing physical distancing at all times and limiting your errands to once a week. Also, they say shopping for essentials is considered a low-risk activity,
They say shopping in stores more than twice a week and standing less than six feet from someone is considered medium risk. Other activities that carry a medium-risk include visiting friends and family who don’t live with you.
