The Thurston County Public Health and Social Services Department (PHSS) launched a face covering campaign over the last two months by making posters, window clings, and stickers available to businesses in both English and Spanish. Businesses can also download the digital versions in English and Spanish, as well as Korean and Vietnamese, on the COVID-19 business page. The face covering signs feature four different messages:
- Face Coverings Required (available in English, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese)
- Mask Required (available in English, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese)
- Thank You (available in English, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese)
- We Support Face Coverings (English only)
PHSS partnered with many local business organizations to distribute these signs to businesses within the county. For businesses interested in obtaining posters, window clings, or stickers, please contact one of the following organizations:
