Our Borough, Our Region, Our Nation are facing challenges unlike many of us have ever experienced with the threat of the COVID-19 virus. We all have a self-responsibility and role in protecting ourselves and each other. That is why it is essential that we continue to educate all residents to practice social distancing, good hygiene, stay 6 feet apart and wear a mask when going out to public places. Our number one priority is the safety and health of our residents and employees.
The Unified Command Center is working hand-in-hand to craft response strategies that will lessen the virus’ impact in our communities. We continue to meet with local leaders as we discuss many creative ways to respond to the challenges we face. From offering cleaning supplies, technical assistance to communities, COVID-19 testing at Maniilaq Health Center and much more.
