City staff is working closely with the San Gabriel Unified and Garvey School Districts and will continue to remain in communication in an effort to ensure coordination and consistent messaging to the public.
Lastly, it’s a good time for all of us to become prepared, but not to panic. It is important that we do not act out of fear, but rather focus on treating everyone in our community with kindness. Inform yourself from reputable sources, and be aware of misinformation surrounding COVID-19. Kindness is a part of our City culture and together we will continue to support an environment in which all community members feel safe and welcome.
