"Many people are expected to have scheduled trips or gatherings between late April and early May. Please remember that when physical distances are reduced, the possibility of the COVID-19 infection rises. The upcoming holidays are the remaining hurdle before transitioning to 'everyday life quarantine,' and please continue quarantine efforts as you are the quarantine chief for you, your family and your community."
