COVID-19 UPDATE
Dear Ashland Residents,

Today, October 22, 2020, the Town of Ashland has seen an increase in COVID-19 cases and recorded COVID-19 cases over the past week. This increase in cases moves our community from "Yellow" to "Red," per the Department of Public Health's reporting standards. This information is fluid. Our community currently reports 29 open cases; however, of these 29 cases, 13 of the cases resulted from a single "cluster." This cluster was quickly identified and isolated, in order to prevent a further spread. Also, all close contacts were also identified and quarantined.

Any school related information, regarding this change, will come from the Superintendent, Jim Adams.

This is a prime example of why we need to follow CDC guidelines and be vigilant. If we do so, we can keep our community safe. The red zone is a reminder to be mindful of our actions.

We cannot stress enough:
  • Do not leave your home if you feel sick
  • Do not send your child to school with any symptoms
  • If you feel unwell, please, get tested
  • Keep maintaining social distancing standards
  • Remain 6 feet away from others
  • Wear a face covering/mask

Thank you for your help slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our community!
