Visiting Cape Cod This Summer

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting how we live, work and play

A statewide “Stay at Home” advisory issued in March is giving way to “Safer at Home” recommendations for Massachusetts. The new guidelines advise residents to continue staying home as much as possible to prevent spreading the coronavirus, even as some parts of the state begin to reopen.

Visit reopeningcapecod.org for public health guidelines, business open in Phase 3, and more.

How to Safely Cover Your Face Outside of Home

Governor Baker has issued an Order effective Wednesday, May 6 requiring face masks or cloth face coverings in public places where social distancing is not possible. This applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Exceptions include children under the age of 2 and those unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition. Read the full DPH Guidance .

It is critical to emphasize that social distancing measures remain in effect and keeping 6 feet apart from others remains important to slowing the spread of the virus.

Learn more about wearing face coverings and cloth masks in public, including fact sheets in multiple languages.

From The Town of Mashpee

ASGCC will be hosting a virtual OEND training for anyone in the community who may benefit from learning about overdose prevention and overdose response.

The session will end with time for questions as well as information on how to access Narcan.

This virtual training will take place weekly on Tuesdays at 2pm. Information on how to join can be found below.
