• If you feel you have symptoms, CALL YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER, who will prescribe a test if needed. Immediately self-quarantine.
• If you test positive for COVID-19, please stay at home. Ask friends or family or one of the many volunteer organizations available to utilize takeout and curbside services. PLEASE quarantine within your home and follow CDC precautions on how to protect others living in your household.
• Thank you Ridgefielders for continuing to isolate and shelter in place. Every moment you stay out of the public, away from crowds, helps us to protect ourselves and our most vulnerable residents. Please keep practicing social distancing, washing hands and sanitizing. Those who are casual about the federal, state and local directives, I ask you to step up now and join the rest of Ridgefield in this fight.
• PLEASE put used disposable gloves in trash cans or take them home to dispose. Tossing them on the ground is not helpful and puts those who must retrieve them at risk.
