Stay Covered Together

With higher rates of chronic health conditions, limited access to health care and greater economic insecurity, communities of color are being hit the hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. #StayCoveredTogether is a public service campaign being funded by The Harlem Children’s Zone (HCS) in communities that received grant money through The Audacious Project to support COVID-19 relief and recovery efforts. One of those cities is Atlanta.

Wearing a mask is one of the easiest ways to stay safe, stop the spread, and save lives. Cut your risks further by getting vaccinated, washing your hands, and watching your distance. The vaccine significantly reduces the risk of getting COVID-19.

COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.

#StayCoveredTogether Public Service Campaign
Together, let’s stay covered for each other. Use the #StayCoveredTogether toolkit to spread the word on how to keep each other safe during COVID-19.
