Practice social distancing, wash your hands well and often, keep your hands away from your face and practice respiratory etiquette.
Please do not flush wipes or paper towels down the toilet. Dispose of these in the garbage, Wipes do not break down in and lead to clogs and blockages for city’s drainage systems.
