The Chatham Board of Selectmen, in collaboration with the Board of Health, will hold a remote meeting to
provide the community information on the Town’s “red” designation on the Commonwealth’s Average Daily
COVID-19 Incident Rate map for the two-week period from August 23 – September 5, 2020.
The Forum will be held virtually on Monday, September 14, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
Information on how the Massachusetts Department of Public Health calculates the average daily incident rate and the factors that led to the reporting that Chatham had >8 cases per 100k population during that two-week window will be provided.
The Board of Selectmen and the Board of Health want to hear from the community, answer questions, and have a community discussion on what actions the Town can potentially take moving forward.
Following this Forum, on September 15, 2020, the Board of Health will join the Board of Selectmen’s regular meeting to recap comments received and discuss any contemplated actions.
“We understand this designation by the State has caused renewed concerns for people’s health and
livelihoods. We believe that level-headed decision-making is a necessity as we continue to strive for a balance between public health and impacts to the local economy,” said Shareen Davis, Chairman of the Chatham Board of Selectmen.
"The concerns of the community and the health of community members are first and foremost on the minds of the Board of Selectmen,” said Davis.
In addition to providing feedback during the Forum, participants can also email questions/comments in
