Fenton Consulting has launched a billboard PSA campaign, urging motorists to get off the road and stay home in the national effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The messages include: "Hey you, behind the wheel"... COVID-19 does not discriminate. Be safe. Get home!" and "Forget toilet paper. You're not socializing anyway."
