Dear Town of Frederick residents,
In the best interest of the community and our residents’ health, we have temporarily closed all non-emergency town offices and facilities effective March 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team will be working behind the scenes to allow for day-to-day operations to continue through March 30, at which time we will re-evaluate.
We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone to follow public health advice regarding closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures. And stay informed! The Colorado Department of Public Health and Education (CDPHE) is a factual and regularly updated resource. Go to Colorado.gov/cdphe. Town of Frederick updates with links to resources and Town closures and re-openings is at FrederickCO.gov/COVID19.
Your Mayor,

Message From The Town
We understand that the news about COVID-19 (2019 novel coronavirus) may be creating concern and worry for some people.
We wanted to let you know that we are continuing to monitor the outbreak closely and are in close and regular contact with the Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency and the Weld County Health Department. We are continuing to closely monitor the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and CDC. We have plans, partnerships, and resources in place to support the community. We are working in close coordination with our regional public health partners, hospitals, school districts, and the first responder and health care communities.
This is a time for all communities, families, and individuals to focus on preparing. We must work together to protect those in our community who are most at risk of severe disease, particularly the elderly and people with underlying health conditions.
Thank you for helping to keep yourself and our community healthy and well!

Practice everyday wellness
- Practice social distancing by increasing the distance between yourself and others by at least six feet.
- Follow the CDC Guidelines on Travel.
- Clean your hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub.
- Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing.
- Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Get an annual flu vaccine if you have not had one.
Getting ready for a widespread disease is largely about preparing for possible shortages. Here are some things you can do:
- Follow the CDC Guidelines for Preparing Your Household.
- Try to get an extra months’ worth of prescription medications, if possible, in case there are supply chain disruption.
- Slowly start to stock up on enough non-perishable food to last your household through two weeks of staying at home if there is a wave of transmission in the community.
- Avoid large gatherings and understand that large gatherings you plan to attend may be canceled.
- Think through how you will take care of sick family members while trying not to get infected.
- Make plans for childcare if you become sick, or when your child is sick.
- Start practicing not touching your face now. This can greatly reduce the frequency of potential spread. (You can even try a buddy system, where you and a friend remind each other when someone scratches their eyelid or rubs their nose.)
- Replace handshakes with elbow-bumps.
- Start building healthy habits like pushing elevator buttons with a knuckle instead of a fingertip.
- Avoid sharing e-cigarettes, drinks, etc.
- Increase regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces (e.g. doorknobs, faucet handles, toilet handles etc.).
