Stay Safe Outside the Home

Running Errands

Running errands can be safe with just a little planning:

Stay home if you are sick; use delivery options instead.
Vulnerable people should use delivery or curbside-pickup options when possible.
Wear a face-covering.
Know the rules and expectations at any place of business and be prepared to follow and respect them.
- If a business is not adhering to county or state requirements for licensed establishments, including COVID-19 requirements, you can report the business to MCCHD's Environmental Health Division at envhealth@missoulacounty.us or call at 406-258-4755.
Be careful not to touch your face while running errands, especially your nose and mouth.
Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and hot water after you get home.

Staying safe and smart while volunteering will help keep our community healthy:

Use social distancing whenever possible.
Wash hands frequently for at least 20 seconds using soap and hot water.
Wear masks whenever possible and especially when social distancing is not possible. Read the Missoula Public Health Guidance for Volunteers for further advice.

Traveling in times of COVID-19 requires travelers to be careful:

The CDC says vaccinated individuals can safely travel.
Do not travel if you are sick, or if you have been around someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
Do not travel with someone who is sick.
Bring a mask and hand sanitizer.
Check and respect the local health ordinances of the city/county/state you are visiting.
If you or a member of your group develops symptoms after you return from a trip, contact Missoula Public Health or your health care provider as soon as possible.
