Derby mayor tests 'positive' for COVID-19, City Hall closed Tuesday for cleaning



Sharing from Derby Mayor Richard Dziekan's Facebook post:

"After feeling slightly “under the weather” starting this past Friday October 9th, I kept a close eye on my symptoms through the weekend. As of last night, I presented with a low-grade fever so I decided to get tested for Covid-19 this morning. Unfortunately, the results from that test have come back “positive.” Other than some cold-like symptoms, I am feeling okay.

"Out of respect for City Hall staff and the residents of Derby, we will be closing City Hall tomorrow Tuesday October 13th to allow for a deep clean of the building. The Naugatuck Valley Health District will be conducting contact tracing efforts and anyone from my staff who was in close contact with me toward the end of last week will be tested through Griffin Hospital.

"I will be following the CDC guidelines related to self-quarantine and isolation and will not be present at City Hall or any events around Derby until and when I am medically cleared to do so. Thank you for your understanding."


*We wish you a speedy recovery, Mr. Mayor!
