As the situation with COVID-19 continues to evolve locally and across the country, we will provide updates here about how our Y is responding.
FOLLOWING GUIDANCE OF PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS
We are monitoring updates by the Alabama Department of Public Health for any changes in recommendations for individuals, businesses and organizations. In addition to the guidance we’ve already provided about good personal hygiene and staying home if you don’t feel well, officials are also recommending that at-risk individuals should avoid crowds and take other steps to protect themselves. “At-risk” is defined as anyone over the age of 60 or anyone of any age with a chronic medical condition including heart disease, lung disease or diabetes.
