Since my last statement, Groveland has three (3) new positive cases of COVID-19 bringing the total in Groveland to thirty-two (32) cases, with six (6) homes currently under quarantine.
Beginning today, all recreational areas in town will be reopened, with the exception of basketball courts. The fields, playgrounds, dog park, and boat ramp will be opened this morning. Masks, social distancing, and groups 10 and under are still required. Anyone using the recreational areas must adhere to the State guidelines for Phase 2, which are available on the COVID Section of our website. Please note, playgrounds will not be regularly cleaned and should be used at your own risk.
The Town election will take place on Monday, June 15th. I would like to remind voters the application to vote by mail, is available here. For those who wish to vote in person, the polls will be open, at Town Hall, on June 15th from 12pm to 8pm. A separate call with all in-person voting procedures will go out later this week.
Please be advised, Town Meeting is Monday, June 22nd at 7pm. The Warrant for Town Meeting is available here. Further details will be disseminated next week.
This will be my last regular weekly COVID Statement. Future updates will be sent out, as needed.
Finally, on a separate note, I would like to add that the Town of Groveland condemns the actions of the Minneapolis Police Department which lead to the death of George Floyd. In addition, we condemn racism and police brutality of any kind. We applaud the efforts of the citizens who held peaceful protests over the last week and support the demand for justice.
I would like to thank all the residents in Groveland for their patience and cooperation over these last fifteen weeks as we made our way through this pandemic. Hopefully cases stay low and we will be able to slowly resume normal life.
Stay safe and well. Thank you.
