Protect Our Neighbors
Protect-Our-Neighbors framework announced
Local communities will soon be able to qualify for Protect-Our-Neighbors status to gain more local control in their communities if they meet certain criteria, including low viral transmission and preparedness of the public health agency to successfully respond to an increase in cases.
