​COVID-19
** The regular meeting of council that was scheduled for March 30th, 2020 has been cancelled.**
​
YOU MUST PRACTICE 14 DAYS OF SELF-ISOLATION IF YOU HAVE TRAVELLED INTERNATIONALLY.

 
The Town of Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove would like to take this opportunity to update residents on some recent decisions made by Council in the interest of health and safety.
 
Staff will be working remotely in order to reduce the chances of the possible spread of COVID-19.  Office staff are available during regular working hours by either telephone or email.  Outside staff are rotating shifts in order to adhere to social distancing.
 
The Town realizes that this has been a difficult time for many residents.  Council has approved an extension to the due date of municipal taxes until the end of April, 2020.

 

​COVID-19 is an illness caused by a novel coronavirus. The most common symptoms are similar to a cold or flu and include fever, fatigue, cough and difficulty breathing. According to Health Canada and the World Health Organization, symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure. It is believed that COVID-19 can live on surfaces for 3 days. Most people who contract COVID-19 recover on their own; some may not experience symptoms. However, the likelihood that a person becomes severely ill as a result is higher in elderly people and people with underlying medical conditions or a weakened immune system.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (“PHAC”) has assessed current risk of COVID-19 to public health as being low for the general population in Canada. However, this could change rapidly and there is widespread concern that COVID-19 has the potential to overwhelm the Canadian health care system.
As stated in the above message from the mayor, the town office is closed to the public, but staff will be available to assist residents via telephone and email.  Staff can be reached at 709-368-3959 or mdinn@phmc.nf.net or sstack@phmc.nf.net.   All town services such as garbage collection and water system maintenance will continue as normal.
Municipal tax payments can be made by mail, e-transfer or by dropping a cheque in the drop box.  E-transfers can be sent to mdinn@phmc.nf.net
If you have any concerns with regard to tax payments, please contact the town office.
For Covid-19 related enquiries, please visit the following Government of NL Website:  www.gov.nl.ca/covid-19

We will continue to keep you updated as additional information becomes available.  Stay safe!
