Seymour Town Hall
SEYMOUR — A message sent Sunday from the Office of The Seymour First Selectman:
This is Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller with an emergency announcement utilizing the Code Red System.
With all of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, earlier today I signed an emergency declaration for the Town of Seymour. This move loosens some constraints in the Town Charter and allows us to react quickly to any issues that may arise over the coming weeks.
Our first priority is the safety of our staff and residents. We understand that some actions that have been taken may cause hardship for our residents. Please know that we do not make these difficult decisions lightly and we ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work through this difficult period.
This week, Seymour Town Hall will be closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to allow for a deep cleaning to take place. We expect to open the building on Thursday with a modified schedule that we will create while the building is closed.
The Community Center and Library will remain closed as announced last week and our schools will continue to follow the closure schedule that was announced by Superintendent Wilson. All board and commission meetings will be cancelled until the end of March and updates on meeting schedules for April will be announced at a later date.
All other town events are cancelled and will be rescheduled if possible.
I ask that all residents continue to be vigilant about protecting themselves and each other from the virus. Most importantly, please avoid all unnecessary gatherings. If you must go in public, use social distancing to limit your contact with others and wash your hands frequently. If you are feeling sick, it is highly recommended that you remain home to avoid spreading the illness.
Please reach out via phone, text or email to family and friends who may live alone to make sure they are feeling ok. If you believe you or someone in your family has contracted COVID-19, please contact your healthcare provider or emergency room rather than going to the emergency room to seek testing.
We’re all in this together so it’s important that we all work together to protect the vulnerable in our community. I will provide more updates over the next few days and will provide updates as things change.
Good night and I wish you and your family safety and good health.
