Sample Business Sign COVID-19 Face Covering Decision Guide
Federal Centers for Disease Control have determined that COVID-19 is spread mainly by person-to-person contact and that the best means of slowing the spread of the virus is through practicing social distancing and by minimizing personal contact with large groups and environments where the virus may be transmitted. Therefore, the CDC has issued guidance for large gatherings and community events recognizing that gatherings can significantly contribute to the spread of COVID-19 and introduce the virus to new communities. Public safety officials, including state and local law enforcement, have the jurisdiction to enforce these orders on gatherings, and event hosts in violation of these orders will be subject to fines or cease and desist orders.

Report on COVID-19 Survey Results (August 2020). The Provincetown Health Department released two surveys in August 2020. The surveys sought to take the temperature of the general community and the business community on how they are faring six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as, their plans and concerns for the off-season. For planning purposes, we also wanted to know if we would be welcoming more community members this off-season than normal. Community Survey Results Business Survey Results
