CDC Raises COVID-19 Community Level

0Comments

The CDC has revised its guidelines for COVID-19, helping communities determine steps to take based on the most current data by introducing COVID-19 Community Levels (Low, Medium, and High). Yesterday, our area was updated to a MEDIUM level. This means that if you are a high-risk or immunocompromised individual, the CDC recommends staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, getting tested if you have symptoms, and talking with your doctor about wearing a mask indoors or in public; mask recommendations may change if cases and hospitalizations in the area begin to rise.

The pandemic has impacted City operations at all levels, including some of our third-party providers. Various departments may at times operate with smaller crews due to COVID-19. Employees are required to quarantine according to CDC guidelines after contracting or being exposed to the virus. Their absences, while temporary, may negatively affect the City’s ability to provide on-time services.

The City would like to thank residents in advance for their understanding during this time.
