Columbia, South Carolina.... Soon First-Class envelopes will start arriving at Columbia Housing's public housing families' mailboxes filled with Face Covering for the whole family! Special THANK YOU to the contracted neighborhood vendors who answered the call and are hard at work out to meet the upcoming delivery deadline!!!!!
Here's what we want our residents to know:
From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
In light of new data about how COVID-19 spreads, along with evidence of widespread COVID-19 illness in communities across the country, CDC recommends that people wear a cloth face covering to cover their nose and mouth in the community setting. This is to protect people around you if you are infected but do not have symptoms.
A cloth face covering should be worn whenever people are in a community setting, especially in situations where you may be near people. These settings include grocery stores and pharmacies. These face coverings are not a substitute for social distancing. Cloth face coverings are especially important to wear in public in areas of widespread COVID-19 illness.
Wearing cloth face coverings is an additional public health measure people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19. CDC still recommends that you stay at least 6 feet away from other people (social distancing), frequent hand cleaning, and other everyday preventive actions. A cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer, but it may prevent the spread of the virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important if someone is infected but does not have symptoms.
Be Safe! Stay Healthy!
