CANTON With Christmas and New Year’s Eve just days away, St. Lawrence County’s Board of Health president says people should celebrate, but with caution and abiding by public health measures aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19.
Dr. Andrew Williams spoke with the St. Lawrence County legislature’s Finance Committee during their Monday, Dec. 21 meeting.
He showed the board a slide that said a majority of COVID-19 infections are traced back to household and social gatherings.
“I could also put a slide up about how social isolation is bad for someone’s health,” the doctor said. “People need to do the holidays. We just need to do them safely.”
