Town
Managers Message
February 11, 2022
Recent case counts continue to drop and based on the CDC, Vermont has gone from a 7 day average of more than 2200 on January 18, to 343 yesterday. The last few weeks COVID impacts have impacted nearly everyone and thankfully most of those impacted had minor symptoms and were able to recover and end isolation. The Town will be following guidelines posted by the Department of Health, and this means everyone should follow these basic prevention steps:
- Get vaccinated (anyone age 5 or older).
- Get your booster shot (age 12 or older).
- Stay home if you feel sick.
- Get tested if you have any symptoms, may be a close contact, or have taken part in activities that could put you at risk, such as large gatherings or travel.
- Wear a mask in indoor public settings.
- Take care when getting together.
- Wash your hands regularly.
- Get your flu shot.
