The governor extended appreciation to employees and volunteers of health districts and departments throughout the state that rose to the occasion during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the health and well-being of the community.

According to First Selectman Matthew Hoey, “Guilford is fortunate to have a team of dedicated employees in our Health Department that worked tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure our residents were well informed and had the tools necessary to protect themselves and their families.”
