Stop the Spread signage for business and community organizations

The Joint Information Center of the KCEOC has over 200 information signs displayed throughout Kitsap County to encourage residents to help stop the spread. Download the PDF poster in English or Spanish (en Español) to display at your Kitsap business, community facility, or outdoor spaces.

Celebrate safely this Labor Day weekend

Here is a short list of things to remember when it comes to gathering together with COVID-19 still present in our communities:

Outside is safer than inside.
Small groups are safer than large groups.
Less time together is safer than more time together.
Within six feet, face coverings are better than no face coverings.

So, while a Zoom happy hour might be your safest choice, an outdoor barbecue with one other family, with the chairs set up six feet apart, where the hand sanitizer flows freely, and everyone goes home early, is a less risky option, as far as these things go.
