COVID-19 Testing - City of Warren

The City of Warren has teamed up with WSU/ACCESS to have our first ever COVID-19 drive-thru testing at Warren City Hall this Friday FROM 11 AM TO 3 PM. This may continue on a semi-regular basis based upon the response we get this Friday.

Your test results will not only reveal whether you currently have this disease but will also tell whether you have the important antibodies to protect others.

This is a good thing so hope you will take advantage of this opportunity this Friday! Many of you wanted a test site in Warren and now we have that.

COVID-19 UPDATES

Warren Day Camps:

We know the governor has included day camp programs as part of the phase 4 opening, with social distancing (6 ft. apart) still in place.

Unfortunately, as we have been saying, with social distancing still in place, we cannot feasibly guarantee the safety and health of our campers or staff.

The community center is still closed for an indefinite time, so there is no facility for our usage.

We know this program is vital for parents that still need to work and might not have other options, but safety of all continues to be our top priority.

We look forward to providing a quality program for your child next summer.

Warren Community Center: CLOSED indefinitely

The playgrounds and playground equipment: OPEN

Thank you

Dino Turcato
Director

Denise Krolczyk
Program Supervisor

ATTENTION: SUMMER DAY CAMP PARENTS

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE MUST INFORM YOU THAT GIVEN THE UNKNOWN IN REGARDS TO THE VIRUS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CANCEL OUR DAY CAMP PROGRAM THIS SUMMER.

OUR TOP AND FIRST PRIORITY IS THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD AS WELL AS OUR STAFF. WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE CAN FEASIBLY PROVIDE A SAFE ENOUGH ATMOSPHERE FOR THEM TO INTERACT IN.

WE KNOW THAT IN SOME CASES THIS WILL POSE A BURDEN ON FAMILIES WHO WILL RETURN TO WORK AND NEED CARE FOR THEIR CHILD AND MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHER MEANS OF CARE OPTIONS AVAILABLE. PLEASE KNOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND AND CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU, BUT SAFETY HAS ALWAYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUR TOP PRIORITY.

WE HOPE THAT SOME TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT LIFE WILL RETURN TO A NORMAL THAT WE CAN ALL FUNCTION IN.

OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO HOLD OUR CAMP NEXT SUMMER, WHERE THE CHILDREN CAN THRIVE IN AN ACTIVE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING.

WE WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GOOD HEALTH.
