City of Port Orchard Preventative Measures
PORT ORCHARD, WA – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the COVID-19 virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person:
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Based on the information available to the City of Port Orchard from the CDC, we will be exercising caution and taking extra measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Creating distance between yourself and other people is a measure to further reduce your risk of being exposed to this new virus. The City staff will make every effort to help by phone
and/or email while attempting to reduce the amount of interaction which may lead to the spread of COVID-19.
