Helpful Links, Hotline Numbers for Information on Coronavirus

The town of Greenwich is urging anyone who is feeling ill, whether with symptoms of the flu or any other illness, to stay home and not visit public buildings – whether it is Town Hall, the Senior Center, The Nathaniel Witherell nursing home or any one of our public schools.

The Town is installing additional informational signage and hand-sanitizing stations in public buildings.

The Town Hall building was sprayed with disinfectant on Saturday, March 7.  This practice has been conducted daily at the Greenwich Senior Center since March 2 and will continue in the building until further notice.

Residents are urged to use the standard protocols and precautions when dealing with colds and the flu: Stay at least six feet away from someone who is sick; avoid shaking hands; wash hands frequently or use a 60% alcohol-based hand rub and air-dry hands.

On Friday Congressman Jim Himes spoke at the Greenwich Senior Center about the Coronavirus. Click here to watch the IN Greenwich Video.
