A Notice to Property Owners and Second Home Owners:
As we are all part of the state of New York, please know that we are sympathetic to the toll the rapid spread of COVID-19 is taking on the people of counties downstate. Your pain and loss is ours as well.
It seems odd to have to say this as you are a vital part of our community, yet we wish to be clear. To those of you who are planning to seek refuge in your second homes in Johnsburg, you are welcome just in case you have any doubts. With your arrival, there are several important things you must know. As the unfolding of COVID-19 is so rapid, guidance is fluid and frequently updated, so it is imperative that you follow the steps below.

Here is how to plan for and execute a safe re-entry here:

Bring all the food and supplies you will need for two weeks.
Plan to sequester yourselves in your home for two weeks.
Contact the Warren County Public Health Department for guidance on what to do/not do based on the current circumstances.
When your sequestration period is over, adhere to the restrictions placed on all New Yorkers at that time: Currently, it is to shop solo, don't visit, don't congregate.
Respect social distancing recommendations.

Here are items we are asking you NOT to do:

Do not visit convenience or grocery stores until after your two-week period and ONLY if you are symptom-free.
If you own a property in Johnsburg that you rent out, please block out the next few weeks and don’t rent. We know this is asking a lot; we take the loss of income seriously.

What to do if you are already here, and not prepared for the two weeks of isolation:

Call a friend to shop for you
Call Town Hall, we'll help you.

You are our neighbors, our family, and part of our community. We are asking every single citizen of Johnsburg to do our part to slow the spread of coronavirus. Facing our collective challenges with calm, courage, and compassion will ensure that together we will prevail.

We are here for you if you have any questions or need assistance.

Thank you,
The Town Board
Town of Johnsburg, NY
