Events Newsletter
Greetings!
There is one (1) new COVID-19 case to report, bringing our total to two thousand, four hundred and twenty-five (2425) confirmed cases since the pandemic began. Since yesterday, an additional five (5) persons have been quarantined. There are no new deaths to report today. The total number of fatalities stands at one hundred and thirteen (113).

The spread of the virus in our city has slowed down significantly, and I believe it is due to your cooperation in following the recommended guidelines. I want to thank all Plainfield residents for their efforts. Our community is safer and healthier because of you.  

This newsletter shares many upcoming, virtual events for Plainfield residents including live broadcasts, events for your children, and online workshops. We will continue to apprise you of events taking place locally and elsewhere. We may not be able to attend meetings and events in person, but thanks to technology – we can participate virtually.

Mayor Adrian O. Mapp
City of Plainfield
Querido Plainfield,

Hay un (1) nuevo caso de COVID-19 para informar, lo que eleva nuestro total a dos mil cuatrocientos veinticinco (2425) casos confirmados desde que comenzó la pandemia. Desde ayer, cinco (5) personas más han sido puestas en cuarentena. No hay nuevas muertes que informar hoy. El número total de fallecimientos es de ciento trece (113).

La propagación del virus en nuestra ciudad se ha ralentizado significativamente, y creo que se debe a su cooperación para seguir las pautas recomendadas. Quiero agradecer a todos los residentes de Plainfield por sus esfuerzos; nuestra comunidad es más segura y saludable gracias a usted.

Este boletín comparte muchos eventos virtuales futuros para residentes de Plainfield, incluyendo transmisiones en vivo, eventos para sus hijos y talleres en línea. Continuaremos informando sobre los eventos que tienen lugar localmente y en otros lugares. Es posible que no podamos asistir a reuniones y eventos en persona, pero gracias a la tecnología, podemos participar virtualmente.
