Dear Community Members,

As directed by the Governor of Pennsylvania, the State (including Lehigh County and Borough of Macungie) are now in the "Green" phase of reopening, which was shut down due to the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This action was taken to protect the health and safety of our community and all of its citizens. It is extremely important that everyone continues to follow the guidelines outlined by government officials concerning the Coronavirus.

Each one of us can do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by taking proper precautionary measures to keep our community safe by following the rules of social distancing at all times; maintaining six feet distance from others; continuing to wear a mask when in public places, avoiding discretionary travel; not meeting in groups larger than twenty-five people; quarantine yourself at home if you or a family member is ill; practice good hygiene by washing hands frequently and using hand sanitizer; and disinfect frequently used surfaces and items as much as possible.

Please stay informed by listening to daily news updates on television as they arise and visiting Governor Wolf's website at www.governor.pa.gov/ for detailed information.

Please stay healthy and do your part to keep others healthy as well.

Thank you for your assistance and attention with this matter,
Macungie Borough Council
