Nassau Bay Responds to COVID-19

As news about the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to develop, the City of Nassau Bay is actively monitoring the situation and taking the proper precautions to limit the spread of illness. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of staff and residents, the City will be joining county and school district initiatives by limiting large, City-sponsored gatherings and closing City facilities.

Many of the City special events, and sadly, the activities surrounding the City's 50th Anniversary celebration, have been postponed or canceled.

Over the coming days and weeks, the City will continue to assess the situation and will update residents regularly about future closures and impacts to the community through the City’s website and social media pages. Please visit our website at www.nassaubay.com/COVID19 for trusted information about the Coronavirus and the City of Nassau Bay.

The City is directing City employees to cancel and/or reschedule all non-essential training/travel for the month of April. City Manager Jason Reynolds will continue to evaluate and, if necessary, modify department activity.

The City’s Human Resources Department has been emphasizing good hygiene practices throughout all City facilities and stressing the importance of employees staying home when sick.

The City is also currently requiring departments to evaluate all aspects of City operations to ensure the continuity of essential City services. This includes identification of critical staff members required to maintain adequate service. Police, Fire, EMS, and Water / Wastewater departments will remain operational.

For our residents, if you do feel sick and believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, please contact your healthcare provider or a hospital immediately. Describe your symptoms and travel history. If they recommend testing, go as soon as possible.

Our community has time and again weathered difficult situations and pulled together to help our neighbors and our City. All of these actions are temporary in nature and we are looking forward to returning to normal programming and activities when appropriate.
