WARWICK — During a meeting on Monday, Selectboard Chair Lawrence “Doc” Pruyne said there still haven’t been any positive COVID-19 cases in town. The most up-to-date statistics from the state Department of Public Health, released on Wednesday, also show that Warwick hasn’t had any known cases.
While he has “heard rumors” of two infections in town, Pruyne said residents have done well with practicing social distancing as Warwick Community School and town buildings remain closed.
“The official opinion is that we’re edging down off the peak of infections and deaths,” he said. “Let’s pray it’s true. Maintaining our vigilance for a short time longer will help keep the virus from making any new inroads.”
