WWhile we are still living in uncertain times and as the number of COVID cases continue to rise, it is extremely important that we all work together to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). On Tuesday, July 7 at 5 p.m., the State issued a health order at the request of the Madison County

Health Department, requiring everyone to wear a mask or face covering when out in public. A face covering is defined as a device to cover the nose and mouth of a person to impede the spread of saliva or other fluids during speaking, coughing, sneezing, or other intentional or involuntary action. Medicalgrade masks are not required. Coverings may be made from scarves, bandanas, or other fabrics.

All businesses and venues open to the public must provide a notice stating that face coverings are required inside the establishment and signage is required at all public entrances.

The Alabama Department of Public Health advises these actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19: • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds • Social distance by staying 6 feet away from others • Avoid people who are sick • Stay home if you can; work remotely if possible • Cover your mouth and nose with a face covering when around others • Cover coughs and sneezes • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces • Monitor your health
