Mayor John Fenik states, “We are at a very critical juncture with the pandemic and it is extremely important that everyone abides by the Stay at Home order to help reduce the risks that our health care system is facing. With the vaccine coming, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, but we need to do our part now.” 

Please continue to be COVID-SMART by practicing physical distancing, staying home when you are sick, washing your hands, and wearing a well-fitting face covering/mask in enclosed indoor spaces and when physical distancing is an issue outdoors.
