October 1, 2020
Solano Public Health offers the following considerations to help protect individuals, families and communities from COVID-19. In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread. Remember the safety protocols – wear a mask, watch your distance and wash your hands.

On the 28th, they'll have a series of live events:
- 6:30 Stories that aren't scary at all (best for preschoolers)
- 7:00 Stories for school-aged kids
- 7:30 We'll announce the winners of the contest
