Columbus, Franklin County residents urged to stay home for next 28 days

To help stop the spread of COVID-19, Columbus and Franklin County leaders are asking residents to not leave their homes for the next four weeks except for work, school or other essential needs.

Officials said the health advisory will go into effect, starting at 6 p.m. Friday, and will last 28 days. The advisory will not be enforced with penalties such as fines or police action, but officials said that could happen if the numbers continue to rise

The stay-at-home advisory also urges residents to avoid traveling, not have guests in their homes unless they are essential workers, and limit indoor and outdoor meetings to 10 individuals or less. That includes avoiding gatherings with family and friends for Thanksgiving.

We cannot sound the alarm bell loud enough," Thomas said. "People need to change their behaviors."

We like leftovers, and the dog does, too!

And it looks like I’ll be buying that bird. Sounds like our little four-person bubblegiving may be called off.
