In an effort to help raise awareness of the need to wear masks in public, the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce announced today that they are rolling out a free sign campaign encompassing the entire City.
“There are very few actions that business owners and residents can do to combat the exponential rise in Coronavirus cases. However wearing a mask in public, along with physical distancing and hand washing, is known to curtail the community spread of the Coronavirus from person to person,” commented Chamber President Steve Rosansky.
The Chamber’s new campaign will offer a series of signs that business owners can place in their windows to get the message across that mask wearing in public is critical to stop the spread. The signs will feature messages like “Save Our Economy”, “Save Our Business” and “Save A Life” coupled with the words “Wear A Mask”. Chamber staff and volunteers will be heading out into the community throughout the City asking businesses to post a sign in their window.
“With all the challenges facing businesses currently, the Chamber is trying to make it as easy as possible for them to get the message out,” Rosansky added.
Any business that wants to receive a sign can contact the Chamber to request a sign at (949) 729-4400 or reach out to Chamber at info@newportbeach.com. We will be happy to deliver your sign to your business. The Chamber will even tailor a custom message as long it ends with “Wear A Mask”.
The Chamber’s effort is particularly important in the face of new business closure announcements by Governor Gavin Newsom. Rosansky added, “As long as the case counts continue their steep rise, he will continue to use his business “dimmer switch” to scale back person to person interactions. Awareness campaigns like the Chamber’s are critical to stopping the spread.”
