Our little town is still one of the few areas in Connecticut that is officially free of the virus. You can help to continue that trend by physically distancing yourselves from as many people as possible. We have been posting Hampton Covid-19 Emergency Resource messages on Facebook (Hampton Covid-19 Emergency Resource Team) and the Nextdoor app in Hampton. For up-to-date information, look to the CDC and State of Connecticut websites, which are found easily by doing an online search.

The most vulnerable Hampton residents are senior citizens and those with underlying illnesses, like diabetes, heart problems and lung related illnesses. If you have neighbors who are in this category, please reach out to them and offer your help with food shopping and picking up medicine.

Now is the time to review the CDC guidelines and contact your immediate neighbors to identify their needs and to arrange help should they be in need. If you know of a senior in your neighborhood, make sure to touch base with them and to offer your help should the situation arise. Our entire community depends on how well everyone follows these guidelines and remains at home as much as possible.

STAY SAFE—WASH YOUR HANDS—HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS—STAY HOME!
