As the Greater Kansas City business community adjusts day-to-day operations in response to COVID-19, we must balance the need to maintain our region’s economy with the protection of our community’s health. The Safe Return KC Guide provides a road-map for organizations of all types across the region to use as we re-open our workplaces, while considering the public health needs of our workforce, stakeholders, customers and community.

The Clay County Public Health Center has ordered prints of two different posters for distribution to local businesses as we transition into step 1 of our recovery phase. One poster is for business entrances and the other is a generic “keep six feet apart please” flyer.

These posters can be used by businesses to educate and inform the public about some of the basic precautions that should be taken to prevent the spread of germs.

The Kearney Chamber of Commerce has agreed to be a distribution point for these posters. Please email stacie@kearneychamber.org to arrange for pick-up or delivery.

If any company would like to print their own, the same documents can be downloaded from the Community Recovery Toolkit at clayhealth.com/recovery .
