GOSHEN — “Because of the virus circulating in our community, it is critical that people continue to wear masks, physical distance, wash hands and stay home when sick. In addition, we all need to avoid crowded events, particularly those that are indoors where it can be difficult to physically distance from others,” said Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Hospital Chief Medical Officer and Infectious Disease Specialist. “Without all these precautions, we will have a worsened outbreak.”
