MONROED — Monroe has six positive coronavirus cases, and town officials are offering free resources over the phone for those needing assistance.
First Selectman Ken Kellogg, in a CodeRED update Sunday, confirmed the six positive cases, adding that “we should all expect to have additional cases in the days ahead, just as other towns in Fairfield County are experiencing.
“I want to emphasize the Governor’s order that now limits social and recreational gatherings to no more than five people,” said Kellogg. “While our parks and trails have plenty of open space to enjoy safely, you must maintain social distancing.
“I implore everyone to follow these requirements so that further restrictions do not become necessary,” he said.
Kellogg said that as the community gets ready for another week of “living in a way that may have seemed unimaginable less than a month ago, remember to focus on what we can control.”
The first selectman pointed residents to links on the town’s website for things to do at home, reminders to take a stress-break and how to access support services.
“Remember that we must remain connected while doing our part to keep our neighbors safe. We’re all in this together,” said Kellogg.
Residents who are “stressed, anxious, isolated or having difficulty concentrating” are urged to contact town social worker Jessica Champagne. Champagne can provide resources by phone through the town’s free telehealth service.
To schedule an appointment with Champagne, call 203-913-6955 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
