• We can all do our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 spreads through the droplets produced when you cough, sneeze or talk, and wearing a face covering helps keep those droplets contained. This helps make sure you don’t spread germs to someone else in case you’re sick and don’t know it. Learn more at ShastaReady.org – click on “Prevention.”
