In that time period, we have performed over 3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ #covid19tests and maintained less than a 5️⃣% positivity rate.
🤝In true Nantucket spirit, in a time of need, we galvanized and banded together to weather the storm, and came out stronger than ever.
💦 These last two week’s Biobot sewer reports showed that the virus was not detected in our wastewater = 💉 are working.
🚨 but, we need to stay alert and remember that the delta variant is still increasing cases among unvaccinated individuals in the U.S. Outbreaks continue to rage in areas of the world that do not have the fortune and privilege the 🇺🇸 has with 💉.
✈️ Travel to other countries may be changed or restricted for many months to come.
😷 businesses may still request 😷 , and many people may still choose to wear 😷 out in public. We request that everyone respect all decisions.
😃 we look forward to this new chapter in our lives. In the meantime, let us all have a safe, covid-free 🌊 ☀️ season.
