To my fellow residents,  

If you have been listening to the news this past weekend I'm sure you're all aware that the Delta variant is causing an increase in COVID-19 cases across the country.  Windham County has now been designated by the CDC as “substantial” transmission area.So in an effort to keep everyone safe, the Town of Chaplin is requiring all employees, vaccinated and unvaccinated, to wear a mask while working in an indoor setting, effective Tuesday, August 3rd, 2021 and will stay in effect until further notice.

So in a continuing effort to keep everyone safe the Chaplin Board of Selectmen is requesting that everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated that enters a Town building to please wear a mask as well. This request is effective starting tomorrow August 3^rd, 2021 and will continue until further notice. Below you will find links to provide more detail as to the CDC guidelines. 

The Town of Chaplin will also be posting notices recommending that residents and visitors wear masks when entering any and all town buildings/facilities so please observe the signs.   

Thank you for your understanding, Bill
