COVID-19 Messaging Guide Now Available: Providing Best Practices for Events and Gatherings  

June 1, 2022

The Community Media Outreach (CMO) team at DH has developed a “best practices” messaging resource intended to help LGBTQ+ partners as they develop and facilitate events during Pride Month. This document captures recommendations from the Department of Health (DOH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that can be used before, during and after community events to ensure safe and healthy gatherings. 

This guide contains recommendations for masking, vaccination, testing, and various COVID-19-related resources, such as WA Listens and WA Notify. The guide can be accessed in PDF form here

The language in this guide can be used directly, or partners may adapt content to fit the needs of a specific community. If you need more resources on a particular topic discussed in the guide, please reach out to your Outreach Coordinator for support.
