Wearing a mask and taking other precautions is as important as ever as northern Santa Barbara County enters a new phase of pandemic response. As businesses and other public spaces re-open, covering our faces will help prevent a resurgence of the Coronavirus and create a culture of confidence in our communities. That’s why elected officials, business owners, and community leaders across North County encourage you to “Protect. Respect. Wear Your Mask.”
Press Release is available in Spanish HERE.
As our community begins to move forward in the reopening process, it is important we remain diligent in wearing a mask, social distancing and washing our hands. Together, we can continue to slow the spread of COVID-19.
