Reopening Task Force Providing Safety Signs For Cape Businesses

FALMOUTH, MA — The Cape Cod Reopening Task Force is helping Barnstable County businesses make their businesses safer as they reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Task force officials said they are providing signs for businesses and local governments on Cape Cod. These signs will promote social distancing and other safety practices to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The Task Force’ signs are available for distribution on the task force's website and are designed to help business owners comply with state-set minimum safety standards. They remind guests and customers to maintain 6 feet of distance to the extent possible, wear face coverings, wash hands and keep hard surfaces sanitized, and stay vigilant for symptoms. The Task Force recommends placing signs throughout these establishments and at all entry points.

"As our members and their peers in the business community are asked to make changes to their usual business practices, our hope is to develop and distribute messaging that is very clear to customers," said Wendy Northcross, the CEO of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce."If we follow the rules and take responsibility for each other, we can slow the spread of the virus."
