Lets work together: slowing the spread of COVID-19
The City of Stillwater is in the midst of an epidemic
Stillwater's community spread of the COVID-19 virus has warranted state health officials to consider Stillwater in the midst of an epidemic. Residents should take all precautions to limit the spread of the disease as identified by CDC Guidelines and regularly check for City, state, and federal updates to stay informed.
Talk to us. How can we slow the spread of COVID-19?
We know we are #StillwaterStrong. But how exactly can we work together as a community during the pandemic?
We know the key precautions:
- Get the COVID-19 vaccine
- Wear a mask or face covering if you have not been vaccinated
- Wash your hands often
- Avoid close contact with others
- Cover coughs and sneezes
- Clean and disinfect
- Monitor your health

High Risk for Covid-19/MASK UP
Please mask up!! Like so many of us if all ages, we have health issues that make us a high risk. I have a auto immune disease so I know 1st hand how important it is to MASK UP!! Ignoring the warnings to stay six feet apart, avoid large gatherings, not wearing a mask, or knowing u have been positive and not practicing the CDC recommendations shows ignorance and that you are careless about others.

Masks. It's that simple.
Drawing on internet conspiracy theories (some of which actually say masks INCREASE the virus spread), most people in public are NOT wearing masks. This is ridiculous. As a community we need to work to slow the spike in cases we are seeing. We NEED a mask order, period. If anyone makes threats after a business requires a mask, they should be escorted from the business. The idea that people will wear a mask if you suggest it does not work here. It's so bad that several friends from the coasts asked me if the attached image came from Oklahoma.

Masks for Necessity Shopping
Would like to see masks required for stores with groceries and pharmacies, places where you get necessities to live.

Require masks and enforce fines!
The community spread will only worsen if people have the option not to wear a mask. Its benefits have been proven, it slows the spread and stops unnecessary death! MASKS OR NO SERVICE!

PLEASE mandate masks on July 6th.
I really hope that the City of Stillwater moves during the July 6th meeting to mandate the wearing of face masks when in public. The science is clear, this should not be a debate anymore. Here’s our chance, it’s either we mandate masks now or accept an explosion of COVID-19 cases within our community, an overwhelmed healthcare system, and ultimately unnecessary and avoidable deaths. #StillwaterStrong
