Report on COVID-19 Survey Results (August 2020). The Provincetown Health Department released two surveys in August 2020. The surveys sought to take the temperature of the general community and the business community on how they are faring six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as, their plans and concerns for the off-season. For planning purposes, we also wanted to know if we would be welcoming more community members this off-season than normal. Community Survey Results Business Survey Results
