Together Quad Cities

Indoors, outdoors, anywhere you go, help prevent the spread of COVID-19.  We can work together by staying apart.  #TogetherQC @QCTrails.org

Avoid gathering in groups. Stay at least 6 feet apart

• Find spaces where you can keep distance from other.
• Allow space for passing on the path.
• Be with members of your household or go alone.
