FROM BLUFFTON ICON - There are two reasons to wear a mask:
• to protect *yourself* against what's out there, so you can personally try to avoid infection, and
• to protect *others* from what *you* may have so that you don't infect the community.
The second reason is what some doctors and epidemiologists are emphasizing as an important tool for fighting COVID-19. They are not recommending you keep N95 masks.

The Ada youth football program has joined the new Developmental Football League, according to Adam West, Ada youth football head coach.
Here’s what West says about the program:
"Exciting news for the Ada Youth Football Program. We have joined the Developmental Football League.
This league will start this fall. The focus of the league is to serve the kids/athletes from the inside out, build fundamentals, teach the game of football, and have fun.
This league will include grades K-6 and will see some significant changes to the way our program has traditionally done things.
In order to help reduce the possibility of transmission of COVID-19, Hardin Memorial Hospital will erect a triage tent outside the emergency department (ED) entrance.
The goal is to keep those who have flu-like symptoms separate from those who do not.
This is a proactive measure we are taking to be prepared in the event the process of outside triage becomes necessary.
It is NOT a walk-up site for COVID-19 screening.
How it will work…
When a patient comes to the ED for treatment of an injury or other reason, they will first go into the triage tent where they will be quickly screened.
