Yorktown Resumes COVID-19 Restrictions
New health rules will take effect in Yorktown next week in response to rising cases of COVID-19.
Beginning Monday, August 9th, the Town Board requires that:
- All visitors to any indoor Town facility will be required to wear a mask.
- All unvaccinated Town employees will be required to wear a mask when indoors.
- All indoor public facing Town employees, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask when speaking to a member of the public.
“These are necessary and proactive steps to take for the safety of our employees and the general public,” said Supervisor Matt Slater. “We are all hopeful that these are the only steps needed and we will continue to monitor the local COVID-19 impact on our community as the fall season approaches.”
In the past month, Yorktown’s COVID-19 caseload has increased from two cases to more than 60 as of August 4.
The Town Board has assembled a group of local medical professionals (COVID-19 Medical Task Force) to help the Town Board navigate its decision-making process to ensure that everything is done to protect public employees and residents.
