Brunner goes on to say, "Anyone who ignores an advisement to self-isolate or quarantine becomes a big part of the problem. Isolation and quarantine does not mean to go on vacation or interact with others. It means stay home and monitor your health. For the sake of your family, your friends, your neighbors, the elderly and your fellow residents of our community, please be responsible and wear a mask. Additionally, do not attend or hold unprotected gatherings on your property or in public, avoid play dates and if told to isolate or quarantine, please take it seriously. "
