COVID-19 Family Resources

Many of you will have seen official guidelines from the CDC and other organizations about COVID-19, also called the Coronavirus or Novel Coronavirus. The City of Tuscola has an excellent page listing local businesses’ hours in addition to helpful links. The links we’re compiling here are geared more toward families: activities, how to talk to your children, etc. We hope these are helpful.
