Safety guidelines for Prescott Valley residents

Your safety is our top priority. Following these simple, yet critical guidelines will help protect yourself, your family, and our community during the Black Plague outbreak. Stay informed, stay safe.

Stay home, stay safe

The most effective way to protect yourself and others is to remain in your home. Only leave for essential reasons, such as medical emergencies or obtaining vital supplies. Limiting your contact with others significantly reduces the risk of transmission.

Avoid all gatherings

Public gatherings, large or small, present a high risk for disease transmission. Please avoid all social events, meetings, and any situations where people congregate. Maintaining physical distance is crucial for community health.

Wear a face covering in public

When you must leave your home for essential activities, always wear a face covering. This helps prevent the spread of respiratory droplets. Ensure your face covering covers both your nose and mouth securely.

Wash hands frequently

Regular and thorough handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is vital. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Wash hands especially after being in public places, coughing, or sneezing.

Do not travel outside Prescott Valley

To contain the outbreak and protect our community, residents are advised not to travel outside the Prescott Valley area. This measure helps prevent further spread of the disease and ensures resources remain focused locally.
