MOBILE COUNTY COMMISSION PROVIDES UPDATE ON COVID-19

The Mobile County Commission urges citizens to be diligent in their efforts to stay informed and to participate in mitigation activities to help reduce the exposure and spread of COVID-19, commonly referred to as the coronavirus.

Among the most effective measures are consistently keeping your hands and face clean with sanitizer or frequent washing, covering your face when coughing or sneezing, staying home if you experience a fever or difficulty breathing, and checking on family members who are at risk of contracting the virus.

County officials are implementing plans for providing public access to government resources and continuing those services essential to public health and safety.

The Mobile County Commission is committed to continuing service to the public as this situation moves forward. The most important thing is for everyone in the community to stay informed and to recognize that everyone in the community has a responsibility to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Be aware of your surroundings and your actions. Also, please take steps to frequently wash your hands and, if you have a fever, please stay home.
