HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONFIRMS NEW SUFFIELD CASE OF CORONAVIRUS

I am saddened to report that the North Central District Health Department confirmed this evening an additional coronavirus case in Suffield.  At this time, that is the extent of the information available.  While this news is not unexpected, I share the community’s concern for one of our neighbors.  I wish I was not ending your day with this news.  Please continue to practice social distancing, take care of each other, and stay well.
