Weekly Activity Report April 2, 2020 Message from the City Manager, Jeffrey Epp: The City of Escondido is emphasizing the importance of social distancing throughout our City and our operations. While we are attempting to keep open spaces and trails open, all residents must respect the County Health Department Social Distancing guidelines. Thus far, our community has been supportive and helpful in complying with these rules. Our staff is making every effort to support local business and keeping our own operations on track as much as possible. And of course, our first responders are always on duty, 24/7. Thank you all for doing your part! COVID-19 Information: The City of Escondido continues to follow the State and County orders as well as direction from County health officials to help slow the spread of COVID-19. There is a dedicated page on our website where you can find our latest news releases, closures, information about City appointments, and links to resources and other agencies: https://www.escondido.org/covid-19.aspx This week, Escondido Mayor Paul McNamara shared a message with the community.
