FRANKFORT, Ind. – As new COVID-19 cases continue to increase in Clinton County – Thursday marked a record high with 47 and the positivity rate continues to rise as well – Frankfort Mayor Judy Sheets has asked City departments to take additional steps to minimize the risk of exposure and slow the virus spread.
“As COVID-19 numbers continue to rise in our community, we must stay vigilant and work together to keep each other safe,” said Frankfort Mayor Judy Sheets. “This includes wearing masks, washing hands regularly, and minimizing gatherings. Please know we are taking this public health crisis very seriously. I have heard concerns from many residents about the growing number of virus cases and personal stories about the toll COVID-19 has taken on family members and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been impacted by this virus.”
City departments have been asked to reduce the number of employees working together at any given time and to limit public access to city buildings. While city services will continue without interruption, all residents are encouraged to call city departments to schedule an appointment before visiting any departments in person. Phone numbers for all city departments are listed prominently on the city website: www.Frankfort-in.gov.
“While we are limiting public access to many of our departments, I want to emphasize that city services will not be interrupted or delayed, said Mayor Sheets. “Our street, fire, police, parks, building services, and municipal utilities departments work tirelessly to serve our city, and I encourage you to contact them by phone or email when you have a question or when you need assistance.
“City of Frankfort Board of Works, City Council, and Municipal Utilities meetings are being broadcast live on YouTube so that residents can view city meetings from the safety of their homes.
“The health and safety of all residents in our community remain a top priority for this administration. We will get through this challenge by helping one another, by following the guidelines set by our health officials, and by working together to protect our families and our community.”
In addition to staying connected with the Clinton County Health Department and other local officials, Mayor Sheets and her staff continue to closely monitor local, state, and national information related to the COVID-19 crisis.
