Public Health Wants You to Help Stop the Virus Spread

Mar 19, 2020

A friendly reminder from Okanogan County Public Health

At this time, we have no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Okanogan County.

We are doing everything we can to slow the spread but we need your help too.

COVID-19 can’t travel on its own. It needs us to get from one person to another. That means every one of us has the power to help stop it in its tracks. How? Simple.

Social Distancing!

Stay home as much as possible

Work from home if you can

Avoid gatherings of more than 10 people

Keep 6 feet between yourself and others

Wash your hands, cover your cough, and stay home if you get sick.

We realize it isn’t easy to do and this is a difficult time for many in our communities.

But, we’re asking you to please do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19 to protect yourself, your family, and your community
