Dear Community Members,

As directed by the Governor of Pennsylvania, Macungie Township citizens are now sheltered in place as a result of the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic until April 30, 2020. This unprecedented action was taken to protect the health and safety of our community and all of its members. It is extremely important that everyone stays at home and follows 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 by maintaining six feet distance from others; avoiding discretionary travel; staying at home unless it is necessary to obtain food or medical attention; not meeting in groups larger than ten 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

In our country everyone counts—no matter who you are, your economic status, how you worship or your immigration status. The 2020 Census is how this great American promise is kept. When you respond to the 2020 Census you help ensure your community receives the healthcare, infrastructure and education funding that it deserves for the next 10 years.

There are several activities the Census Bureau will conduct for an accurate list of addresses, including online, U.S. Mail and door-to-door Canvassers. Please respond today online at 2020Census.gov.

U.S. Census Bureau Address Canvassers will also be in your neighborhoods to speak with residents that have not responded online. Census employees will have badges, along with black and white bags with a Census logo. They will knock on doors, introduce themselves as a Census Bureau employee, show their official government ID, explain the purpose of their visit and ask a few simple questions to verify the address and any additional living quarters on the property for inclusion on the 2020 Census. Residents may ask for a picture ID from another source to confirm their identity.

More information about the 2020 Census and/or Address Canvassers can be found in their article or brochure.

If you have any questions about the Address Canvassers, please contact the Philadelphia Region at (267) 780-2600 or Philadelphia.rcc.partnership@2020census.gov.
