City of Pampa Amended Limited Access Plan Announced

Posted

Due to the decrease in Covid-19 cases in Gray County and the hospitalization rate in Trauma Service Area A, the City of Pampa has amended its Limited Access Plan to help prevent the spread in the Pampa community.

The City of Pampa is not discontinuing or reducing city services at this time. However, changes are being made to limit access to City facilities and public interaction. All City departments will be practicing social distancing, wearing face masks and sanitizing air and surfaces. We encourage the public to follow CDC guidelines as well.

“We are very excited to see our COVID-19 active cases coming down and the hospitalization rate in our Trauma Service Area staying below 15%” said City Manager, Shane Stokes. “We now feel we can start loosening restrictions in some of our city facilities to better serve our citizens, while continuing the progress we have made toward beating this thing and putting it behind us.”
