Covid-19 update for Thursday 5/14
Includes a handy resource link to help with any questions you may have
Good morning Norwich and Upper Valley residents. Here is the latest update to keep you informed. I thought it would be fitting to use the below photo for this story as today is the National Peace Officers Memorial Day. There are many Police Officers putting their life on the line every day in the performance of their duties. The current COVID- 19 pandemic has made us aware of yet another way that they serve knowing full well of the dangers they may face, in order to keep us safe. Please take a moment to thank them for their service.
