As many of you are aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been an unfortunate pandemic that has taken over our state, nation, and world. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that spreads from person to person. The symptoms of COVID-19 range from mild to severe. Although everyone can be at risk, our most vulnerable populations for more serious complications include persons 65 years and older and persons with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, lung disease, heart disease and many other health conditions. CST wants everyone to stay safe during this time and make wise decisions for yourself as well as your families and friends.
