Hello Mars Residents!
Over the last month, Mars Council and I have discussed emergency preparedness for our community regarding the Coronavirus. We will rely on information from the federal, state, regional, & county government health experts for taking needed action.
The link below has tips on prevention and what to do if you suspect that you possibly have the Coronavirus.
Here is a link from our PA State Health Department: https://www.health.
State and County officials will be helping with the medical community (health providers) in trying to care for people in our area and region. So rely on official reports from government health officials and qualified health professionals to get accurate and up-to-date information.
The key at this juncture is to not panic and wash your hands often just as you would do in dealing with the cold and flu.
If you have concerns and need help please call 1-877-PA-Health.
Stay Healthy, Martians!
Mayor Gregg
