  • Go out only for essentials like groceries, medical care, or work.
  • Wear a face mask – even a homemade cloth mask – when in public
  • Exercise Outside but stay 6 feet apart from others.
  • Use phone and video to connect with people instead of in person

The easiest way to complete the 2020 Census during the Covid-19 pandemic is to do it online at MY 2020 Census DOT GOV (https://my2020census.gov/login)   If you don’t have the ability to do the census online – you can do the questionnaire by phone.  Call 844-330-2020.  Whether you do the 2020 census online or by phone – the Warm Springs Community Count Committee asks that you take time to do your census today, if you haven’t already done so.

KWSO’s Facebook page has joined both the Quarantine Dance Specials 2020 group and the Social Distance Powwow group.  We encourage our local community to participate in either or both of those groups.  If you do upload a video – please let us know – so we can share it as well.

Our Shout Out today is for all the Mask Makers creating face coverings for family, friends and for anyone who needs a facemask.  Whether you are donating masks or offering them for a fee…  it all helps us to stay safe and healthy during this pandemic.  Your skills are much appreciated!
