Like so many of you, I’m concerned about novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. The City of Augusta, along with our community partners that includes the Dep...artment of Public Health, is working to ensure your health and safety as this virus continues to spread across Georgia and around the nation. Today, I along with the leaders who stand with me, took several specific steps to protect the health of everyone in our city: Effective today we are suspending public access and activities at all recreation facilities, government buildings and community centers until April1st We are changing the event permitting policy to indefinitely suspend the approval of permits for public gatherings. City of Augusta permitted, sponsored and produced public events through the Recreation and Parks Department are suspended until April 1st All Augusta public library branches will close to until April 1st City of Augusta Senior Centers will be closed to the public until April 1st A 60 day moratorium is in effect for all residential evictions and water cutoffs that are in dispute All travel is being restricted for employees Nothing slows the spread of COVID-19 as effectively as social isolation, as frustrating as it may be. While these decisions are not made easily, and we know how frustrating they will be for many citizens, we have a responsibility to act in the best interests of everyone’s health and safety. That goes for our employees too. Today the City of Augusta began implementing Continuity of Operations Plans (COOPs) that have been prepared by our department heads under the direction of the Interim Administrator and EMA Director. The COOPs allow for some telecommuting in order to reduce the number of employees in city offices and facilities at any given time. Please know that core services such as trash and brush pickup, police and fire services will not be reduced. Also, the payment of property taxes, sewer fees, and other financial transactions will still be conducted on the first floor of City Hall, which will remain open during normal business hours. Please continue to refrain from large public gatherings. The White House has issued new guidance this afternoon recommending that people not gather in groups larger than 10 people. I want to urge our local businesses to act in accordance with those recommendations as we will for City of Augusta operations. Stay home if you feel sick and call your primary care provider before coming to a walk-in clinic or emergency room. Wash your hands, disinfect hard surfaces, and avoid physical contact. The safety and health of our community and employees are the top priority and we appreciate everyone’s patience during this time. Our government will continue to serve the people of Augusta. We are taking every precaution to limit the spread of the virus in our community. Mayor Hardie Davis, Jr. https://www.augustaga.gov/2785/COVID-19-Updates

Emergency Alert: Due to the risk of severe weather, City offices will be closing at 12:30pm today (Thursday, February 6, 2020). http://dlvr.it/RPWcrK
