We are recommending that all mass gatherings be canceled due to the rapid spread and community transmission of COVID-19.
This is only a recommendation and we cannot force anyone to do this.
If people insist on having the gathering, we are asking that all towns institute a policy, for gatherings over 25 people, in their municipality. This policy will request that the organizer of the event documents the name and cell phone number of every individual present at the gathering and maintains that information for a period of 14 days.
Again we cannot force someone to do this but this will help the local health officer in the event someone becomes symptomatic and tests positive days later, at least they will know who this person may have come in contact with at the event and can contact those people.
