Fighting COVID-19
Resources for Plainfield Residents
Greetings!

Our last update was Monday, June 14th. Since then, there are four (4) new COVID-19 cases. Additionally, six (6) persons were placed in quarantine and unfortunately, one (1) fatality was reported.
The vaccine offers a promise of returning to normalcy however until we are all vaccinated, it is important that we get tested if we experience any COVID-19 symptoms. We should continue to wear face masks, limit indoor gatherings, and practice social distancing while in public. New cases have slowed, but we need to stay the course. Let us each do our part to protect our family, friends, and community.

At City Hall, we’re open for business and maintaining essential services while taking steps to safeguard the health of our employees. We encourage you to try and complete your business online as much as possible. If you can’t find what you want online, please give us a call before coming to City Hall, chances are we can get the information to you and save you the trip.

While this crisis lasts, we will share this resource edition of our newsletter every Wednesday. Please stay tuned and share this information with your loved ones and friends.
Stay safe and may God continue to bless you.

Creating One Plainfield. One Future.

Queridos amigos y vecinos,

 
Nuestra última actualización fue Lunes, 14 de junio. Desde entonces hay cuatro (4) nuevo casos de COVID-19. Adicionalmente, seis (6) personas fueron colocadas en cuarentena y desafortunadamente un (1) fallecimiento fue reportado.
La vacuna ofrece la promesa de volver a la normalidad, sin embargo, hasta que todos estemos vacunados, es importante que nos hagamos la prueba si experimentamos algún síntoma de COVID-19. Debemos seguir usando máscaras faciales, limitar las reuniones en interiores y practicar el distanciamiento social en público. Los casos nuevos se han ralentizado, pero debemos mantener el rumbo. Hagamos cada uno su parte para proteger a nuestra familia, amigos y comunidad.
 
En el ayuntamiento estamos abiertos y mantenemos los servicios esenciales mientras tomamos medidas para salvaguardar la salud de nuestros empleados. Le recomendamos que intente completar su negocio en línea tanto como sea posible. Si no puede encontrar lo que busca en línea, por favor llámenos antes de venir al Ayuntamiento, lo más probable es que podamos entregarle la información y ahorrarle el viaje.

Mientras dure esta crisis, compartiremos esta edición de recursos de nuestro boletín todos los miércoles. Estén atentos y compartan esta información con sus seres queridos y amigos.

Manténgase a salvo y que Dios continúe bendiciéndole.
