What it does

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to develop and implement a COVID-19 risk level alert system to alert City residents of the current COVID-19 transmission risk level. The alert system shall be color coded with each color corresponding to a risk level, and shall include public health precautions to correspond with each risk level. DOHMH would also be required to develop and implement a multimedia outreach campaign to inform City residents of the COVID-19 risk level, and post the COVID-19 risk level on the department’s website daily.
