With all the unknowns surrounding COVID-19, there is one definite, affordable, and simple step we can take to help decrease the spread. The decision to wear a face covering in public helps to limit the distance that an air droplet may travel from your mouth and nose to others around you. With symptoms of COVID being unpredictable, the safest thing to do is assume you may be infected and take the proper precautions so as to not infect anyone else you may cross paths with. “The CDC recommends all people 2 years of age and older wear a cloth face covering in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.” (cdc.gov)
Right: A cloth mask secured under the chin and above the nose, fit snugly to your face.
Wrong: A mask not securely covering your nose or mouth completely or one not made of cloth.

As we slowly begin to hold programming again, Cooking Matters will look a little different than it has in the past. We will provide and require the use of masks to all staff, volunteers and participants for in-person programming, we will follow the recommended 6-foot social distancing guidelines, and we will offer the option of virtual classes to all of our partners in order to limit our physical contact as much as possible.
In addition, thorough sanitation measures will take place both before and after each in-person class.
