To limit the spread of COVID-19, the mayor encourages Park Extension residents to follow public health instructions. These include: coughing into your elbow, washing hands frequently, keeping distance from others, and wearing face coverings in public.

Fumagalli says that the fight against the coronavirus requires everyone’s participation.

“Containment does not affect the wealthy and the less fortunate in the same way,” Fumagalli said.
