Seacoast Safe: Businesses pledge to mitigate COVID-19 spread
By Ian Lenahan
EXETER Adjusting to everyday operations restricted by the coronavirus, a number of Seacoast businesses have vowed to help keep employees and patrons safe with the protocols of the Seacoast Safe initiative.
Brought to life by Jennifer Wheeler, president of the Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce, and members of her Seacoast Chamber Alliance cohorts in November, the Seacoast Safe pledge ensures businesses are “demonstrating their commitment to the health and safety of the community by following the recommended public health guidelines to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
A Seacoast Safe sticker is placed on a store’s window and owners are given access to an online booklet of necessary resources. Wheeler said, “All of this is designed to increase consumer confidence while building awareness of the measures businesses are taking to keep the Seacoast safe, healthy and open.”
