Town Of Warwick

Positive cases of Covid 19 are rising all across our State and County as well as our Town. Many of these positive cases as asymptotic and the data shows that as many as 70% are spreading in small, private gatherings. The elderly and people with underlying health issues remain the most vulnerable so now is the time for us to double down on avoiding at risk gatherings, wear our masks, keep distance and sanitize your hands frequently. This is super critical in order to stay safe, protect others and avoid another complete shutdown. Warwick has always shown we can achieve anything we set our minds to and we need to do so once again.
