COVID-19, Your City and You

Several COVID19 molecules on red background.

Stay home. Stay healthy. At the City of Salem, we're following the Governor's Statewide Two-Week Freeze as of November 18, 2020 and hope you will too. To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce opportunities for continued transmission of the virus, we are making changes to some of our programs and services. You can count on us. Our City will continue to provide emergency response, public safety and other essential services, including water service to all customers. To help keep our community safe and continue sharing critical information to our community, we are re-purposing our staff and resources to essential services where possible.

Please also help keep the many City workers safe who are still working around the community, providing those services. If you'd like to express appreciation, please do so from a distance. They'll appreciate your concern for their safety and that of their families

New local use restrictions are in place through January 12, 2021.
