Ansonia mayor wishes all a Happy Thanksgiving, urges caution against COVID-19

🦃 MESSAGE FROM MAYOR CASSETTI 🦃


Good Evening Residents of the Great City of Ansonia!
This is Mayor David Cassetti, calling to wish you and your family a HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and to remind you about the very REAL DANGERS we are facing this holiday season.
For the sake of you and your loved ones, I urge residents to take extreme caution against the spread of COVID-19, especially when it comes to social gatherings of any kind this week.
Thanksgiving at my home will be much, much smaller this year. We are limiting attendance, while reaching out virtually to our extended family.
I know it may be frustrating – it certainly is for me -but I ask that you help protect our City by keeping attendance at your Thanksgiving dinner to those already in your household, and practicing social distancing and mask wearing in the presence of anyone who does not live with you. And of course, remember to keep washing your hands!
Also, please think twice about any out-of-state travel, especially if someone you live with is at increased risk for getting very sick from COVID-19, such as a senior citizen or those with known health issues. In many cases, a virtual gathering is simply the safest and most sensible alternative.
And if you absolutely must travel, I am counting on you to check all travel restrictions and follow all quarantine requirements and guidelines…including the 14-day quarantine or negative COVID test that will be required when you return to Ansonia from most states.
I don’t want to see you or your loved ones hurt by COVID-19. I don’t want to see this virus take another life in our community.
Please … let’s ensure a happy and healthy holiday by looking out for one another, and playing it SAFE. That might mean a smaller holiday than we are used to…but that just means we get to make up for it next year!
Thank you, and God bless you and your family.
