Dear Groton Neighbor,
Coronavirus is on most people’s minds these days. While much is still unknown, we do know:
1. These viruses enter the body through your mouth, nose, and eyes from touching your face without washing your hands.
2. Symptoms are typical of cold and flu.
3. Risk of contagion is vastly reduced when common-sense measures are taken to limit contact with infected persons combined with frequent hand-washing and cleaning of surfaces.
We offer the following guidelines:
General Guideline
If you have any concern at all about requesting or providing a service, simply don’t do it.
When requesting a service

· If you are sick and have a medical emergency, call 911.
· If you are ill and need a home delivery, we will try to accommodate.
· Keep hand sanitizer available at your door and ask people to use it.
When providing a service
· If you are sick or have flu-like symptoms, stay home until you are well before offering to provide any services.
