This is a resource page to help you learn more about precautions you and your family can take, what to do if you get sick, and what you can do if you are an employer.
We want to remind everyone that the Liberty Area Chamber of Commerce is not a health official or government organization. Our goal is to share business relief and county health information that is accurate and unbiased in a timely manner.
PLEASE rely on the official, trusted sources for information and not secondhand knowledge. Rumors and bad information spread faster than any disease out there, which only causes distress.
