IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE FAIR HAVEN OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT  

March 30, 2020

Dear Fair Haven Residents,

As of this date, the Borough of Fair Haven has a total of twelve (12) confirmed cases of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus. Our thoughts are with the residents and their families.  Given the size of our town and our population density, we are at or below the anticipated number of anticipated cases which is very positive news for our community.  With the exponential increase in testing being conducted in our state, we expect the number of confirmed cases locally and abroad to dramatically increase.  Once again, these numbers are confirmations of individuals testing positive for the virus and not necessarily an indicator of those suffering with dramatic symptoms or accelerated ailments. 

We have taken a very proactive approach to addressing this issue here in town, to include communicating with our businesses and providing updates as the Governor’s executive orders evolve.  We encourage our residents to continue to be supportive of our businesses in town.  That being said, we also urge you to continue to abide by appropriate social distancing and best safe practices in order to curtail the spread of the virus. Please do not compromise our businesses or our neighbors by failing to abide by these guidelines. 

The Police Department, Office of Emergency Management and our emergency service personnel are maintaining a vigilant and proactive presence while doing our best to assure all of our residents that we are staying ahead of the curve and well on top of the situation.  We are brutally aware and cautiously prepared to maintain the safety and wellbeing of our residents.  Please help us by continuing to exercise good judgement and social discipline to safeguard the most vulnerable members of our community. 

Thank you, Chief Joe McGovern
