    • Make sure you have a face-covering with you anytime you are out and about, as some establishments are asking patrons to wear them to protect workers and customers.
    • If you start to feel sick or experience symptoms while in Cordova, you should isolate yourself and get tested. Testing is available by appointment through both Cordova Community Health Center and Ilanka Health Center. Click links for contact info.
