RIDGEFIELD, CT — First Selectman Rudy Marconi issued an update Monday morning to residents.
In addition to urging residents to suspend all activities that encourage gathering, the first selectman is advising that:
- All playgrounds and all recreation areas such as basketball, tennis, pickle ball and paddle courts are closed.
- The dog park is closed.
- The high school track is available for walking/jogging "with common sense and social distancing." No group jogging is allowed.
- The golf course is closed to play but open to walking/hiking "with common sense social distancing." Do not participate in groups.
