Greetings!
We stood together when faced with adversity.
We found innovative ways to stay connected through a global pandemic. We discovered new wells of strength that we didn't know we possessed and found creative ways to deliver programs to our homebound residents.
As we cautiously engage in more face-to-face social gatherings and events, I urge you to err on the side of caution. We are happy to be in each other's presence but let's wear our masks, wash our hands frequently, and continue to stem the spread of COVID, so we never have to return to an entirely virtual life.
This newsletter shares upcoming events and exciting programs in the city of Plainfield. Use it as your guide to help navigate and plan your weekly schedule. We remain stronger together, let's love one another and #LovePlainfield.
Thank you, and stay safe!

Greetings!
Nos mantuvimos unidos cuando nos enfrentamos a la adversidad.
Encontramos formas innovadoras de mantenernos conectados a través de una pandemia global. Descubrimos nuevos pozos de fuerza que no sabíamos que poseíamos y encontramos formas creativas de ofrecer programas a nuestros residentes confinados en casa.
A medida que nos involucramos cautelosamente en más reuniones y eventos sociales cara a cara, los insto a que se equivoquen por el lado de la precaución. Estamos felices de estar en presencia del otro, pero usemos nuestras máscaras, lavémonos las manos con frecuencia y continuemos deteniendo la propagación de COVID, para que nunca tengamos que regresar a una vida completamente virtual.
Este boletín comparte los próximos eventos y programas emocionantes en la ciudad de Plainfield. Úselo como su guía para ayudarlo a navegar y planificar su horario semanal. Seguimos siendo más fuertes juntos, vamos amarnos uno al otro y #AmoPlainfield.
Gracias, y cuidate!
Thank you, and stay safe!

From the Mayor’s Office
Fifty Six (56) New Cases of COVID-19 Reported in Plainfield
March 21, 2022
|
|
Since our last update, on Monday, March 14, 2022, there are fifty six (56) new cases of COVID-19, with thirteen (13) cases reported today. In addition, seventeen (17) persons have been quarantined.
Unfortunately, two (2) COVID-related deaths were reported on Thursday, March 17th, and on Sunday, March 20th. Our prayers go out to the families in mourning. Although according to executive order #10, face-coverings are no longer required when entering a Plainfield establishment, I ask that you practice common sense. If an establishment is crowded or if you are in a situation where it is unknown if the individuals are vaccinated or infected, use COVID-safety precautions.

Dieciséis (16) nuevos casos de COVID-19
14 de Marzo de 2022

Desde nuestra última actualización, el lunes 14 de marzo de 2022, hay cincuenta y seis (56) nuevos casos de COVID-19, con trece (13) casos reportados hoy. Además, diecisiete (17) personas han sido puestas en cuarentena.
Desafortunadamente, se reportaron dos (2) muertes relacionadas con COVID el jueves 17 de marzo y el domingo 20 de marzo. Nuestras oraciones están con las familias de luto. Aunque, de acuerdo con la orden ejecutiva # 10, ya no se requiere cubrirse la cara al ingresar a un establecimiento de Plainfield, le pido que practique el sentido común. Si un establecimiento está abarrotado o si se encuentra en una situación en la que se desconoce si las personas están vacunadas o infectadas, tome precauciones de seguridad COVID
