Following guidelines from health officials will allow our healthcare system to maintain an appropriate service capacity to care for individuals who are sick. The health and safety of our community and staff remain our top priority. Throughout the reopening strategy, we will continue to be flexible, adjusting our response based on guidance from Outagamie County Public Health, DHS, and the CDC.
Our approach to reopening Town operations is broken into three steps. Each step is designed to have flexibility in the case of relapse. Steps and the activities listed in each will remain fluid and subject to change to ensure we remain responsive to the ever-changing dynamics related to COVID-19. We will update our plan as new guidelines and information about the virus evolves.
With the exception of Step I, there are no specific dates or timelines identified in this plan. The Town of Greenville's decision about when to move to the next step will be determined by the same benchmarks established by DHS.
