Marietta city officials say the city will remain open and able to provide government services to all of its residents during the COVID-19 situation.
To safeguard the health and well-being of the city’s employees, their families and Marietta residents, all city buildings and floors within those buildings now have dispensers installed with hand sanitizer available to the public and employees.
Also, sanitizing machines will be used to sanitize prisoner transport vans, police cars, fire trucks and any other equipment that is in the field and can come in contact with the public.
Buildings and other public places will be sanitized as needed.
City staff is contacting individuals and organizations, which have events scheduled in city parks or city property over the next two months, to keep them informed of any delayed, canceled and rescheduled events and will distribute changes via various forms of media.
On a daily basis, city officials are in constant contact with the Cobb Douglas Public Health Department and in regular conference calls with federal agencies and the White House.
The city has plans in place to respond to staff reductions resulting from any illnesses and, if needed, solutions to ensure continuation of services.
“We will continue to provide all the important and necessary services that our community depends upon while protecting our employees,” according to a city statement.
