Posters available to remind folks of precautions related to COVID-19

The City of Whitefish is making a poster available to businesses to remind folks to follow practices aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Two versions of the sign are available to download at https://tinyurl.com/yb3n6b28

The city is asking businesses to join in its outreach to prevent the spread of the virus by posting the sign at the entrance of their business. The sign reminds out of state travelers that they must self quarantine for 14 days. It also reminds folks to wear a mask in public, maintain 6 feet of distance from others and wash or sanitize hands frequently.

Montana is in the first phase of reopening following the end on April 26 of a stay-at-home order aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19. Phase one allows for the limited operation of certain businesses.

“As we all work together and keep consistent guidance, we will endure the sacrifices of each phase and get back to the new normal sooner — and most importantly, we will keep our community safe,” the city says.

The Flathead County Health Department has also COVID-19 Business Planning Guide as a helpful resource that provides guidance for reopening different types of businesses. The guide is available at http://www.cityofwhitefish.org/4.21-Business-Planning-Guide.pdf.
