Access to water is essential for cleaning, personal hygiene & washing your hands. This morning, I ordered @STLCityGov Water Dept. to stop all water shut offs until at least May 15. I believe this will help people comply with @CDCgov recommended #COVID19 preventative measures.

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.
