“Please use common sense. There is no need to lose sleep or panic. You have heat, electricity, water, telephone service and internet. This is not [superstorm] Sandy. Check in on the elderly and homebound. Stay six feet away from each other. Be kind to each other and remember to sneeze and cough on your arm and not in your hand and we will all get through this,” Krenzel said in the statement.
