New Town Signage

Davidson residents will soon notice new banners and signage around town which feature recent health campaigns recommending the following:

• The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) encourages everyone that “whatever your reason, get behind the mask.”  Reasons may include family, work, travel, love, community, or respect.  Let’s all “get behind the mask” for Davidson!

•  The Centers for Disease Control is concurrently reminding Americans to #FightFlu by rolling up their sleeves and getting vaccinated.  While symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu do share some commonalities, COVID-19 can cause more serious illnesses in some people, is more easily spread, and is contagious for longer.  Getting vaccinated against the flu will help ease the medical system and allow necessary resources to focus on COVID-19 treatment.  Davidson folks, “mask up, lather up, and sleeve up.”

 As we approach the holiday season, be mindful of the guidelines offered by NCDHHS to keep you and your family safe. To view suggestions for Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping, please click here.
