The Greenway Trust shares our community’s concern about the COVID-19 virus. Our thoughts go out to individuals and families who have already been affected. We are closely monitoring the situation and tracking guidance from public health officials regarding ways to reduce the risk of disease transmission for staff and participants in our programming.
Based on current recommendations from King County, State, and Federal health officials, the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust is making the following modifications to our operations and programming. We will assess these modifications on an ongoing basis and update them as directed by new or revised public health guidance. We will communicate any updates or changes on our website: mtsgreenway.org.
Individual precautions everyone should take:
- If you are not feeling well, or have a household member who is sick, stay home.
- If you are at higher risk of severe illness (e.g., over 60, have an underlying medical condition, have a weakened immune system, or are pregnant), stay home.
- If you must be in a public setting, maintain 6 feet of physical distance and wear a mask or face covering.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick.
- Stay up-to-date with public health guidelines, as the situation is evolving rapidly. We’ve included links to resources at the bottom of this page.
One thing you shouldn’t do is stigmatize people based on ethnicity. Coronavirus doesn’t discriminate, and neither will we.
