Here鈥檚 how some Whatcom businesses maintain safe environments for workers, customers
Several local businesses shared how they are connecting with their younger employees about COVID-19 to keep their communities safe during a Whatcom business forum on Thursday, July 30.
The forum, organized by the county-wide , focused on how employers can ensure younger employees follow COVID-19 related health guidelines in and out of the workplace. Such actions can limit the spread of the virus among their workforce, families and communities.
Steve Bennett, a professor of public health at Western Washington University, said behaviors can change if people have the opportunity, ability and motivation to engage.
