Face Covering Social Media Toolkit As you’ve likely heard, COVID-19 is spreading at an alarming rate in both rural and urban Oregon. Doctors and public health experts have made it clear that we can reduce the spread of the disease by wearing face coverings while out and about in public.
To be able to protect the health and safety of Oregonians, we need to raise awareness about the importance of wearing face coverings – and we need to do it now.
Governor Kate Brown’s office has created a toolkit of nearly 70 social media graphics. There are a wide range of images, themes, and tones, so feel free to use what makes sense for you, your community, and your audience.
Please share these widely with your personal and professional networks this week.
Thanks for doing your part in fighting the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon.
