Risk Assessment: I will report on the risk assessment they assign to Seminole county and Pottawatomie county so that you will have the best idea of what to do in the area you are in. This information can be found through this CDC link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html You can check your area so that you know exactly how much protection you need when going out to public spaces, especially in crowded areas.
