As the COVID-19 situation continues to change, current circumstances emphasize the importance of providing accurate and timely guidance to help prevent the spread of illness in our communities. Positive cases in Coconino County continue to fluctuate. To date, the County has not met the criteria for entering Phase 1 of the phased reopening approach outlined in the Guidelines for Opening Up America Again published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In an effort to encourage prevention measures, Coconino County Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the Coconino County Incident Command Team, has launched a public health prevention campaign to stress important COVID-19 prevention guidelines. We invite the community to participate in this campaign to help promote the importance of prevention measures including wearing face coverings when physical distancing is not possible.

The Face It! campaign provides simple prevention reminders. The current message, Face It! Masks Save Lives!, emphasizes the importance of everyone doing their part to prevent the spread of illness by wearing a mask/face covering when in public places where physical distancing is not possible.
