Stop the Spread
The Kansas City metro area is still averaging hundreds of new cases of COVID-19 every week, and now is not the time to let our guard down. The preventive actions you take are more important than ever as we work together to stop the spread. So what can you do?
- WEAR A MASK —Always wear a mask in public places and make sure the cloth completely covers your nose and mouth. More >
- KEEP YOUR DISTANCE — Staying six feet apart makes it harder for virus droplets to move from one person to another. More >
- WASH YOUR HANDS – Washing with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds kills the virus. More >
- AVOID CROWDS — Weigh the risks before attending any gathering or event where you might not be able to keep a six-foot distance from others. More >

- GET A FLU SHOT — It’s possible to get both the flu and COVID-19 at the same time, and we’re entering flu season now. Get a flu shot before the end of October. More >
