City of Grosse Pointe Park Announces COVID-19 Mitigation Measures

There is no intention on our part to overreact to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). However, it’s incumbent upon your local officials to plan for the potential community transmission of COVID-19 and to take the necessary precautions to protect our residents and staff, and to take the necessary actions to slow the transmission of this virus. Protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community is our paramount concern.
