Mayor’s Message regarding Covid-19

Tomorrow, May 15th marks the beginning of the phased re-opening for our region's businesses. The Southern Tier is one of 4 regions in the state that has met the criteria to begin the re-opening. The Covid-19 virus is still with us -- there is no vaccine nor completely successful or readily available treatment. In the documents tab, there is a document that lists the businesses eligible to re-open, and the 4 phases of re-opening that are defined. You may get further details at this web site: https://forward.ny.gov/industries-reopening-phase

Please remember that we must continue disease spreading prevention practices as listed below. Any increase in cases or hospitalizations in our region could result in a freeze on re-opening or a possible shut-down.

Please continue to follow CDC and State Guidelines to minimize the spread of the Covid-19 virus:

1. Practice social distancing; keep a 6 foot space from others in public spaces.
2. Face masks must be worn in public.
3. Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
4. Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
5. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
6. Stay home when if you are sick (self-quarantining).
7. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then discard, or cough/sneeze into your elbow.
8. Frequently wash and disinfect touched objects such as door knobs.

These practices are the reason Chenango County Covid-19 statistics continue to improve,
