Members of our community, we urge you to heed the request of Governor DeWine and Dr. Acton. Stay at home, shelter in place and make limited, short exposure trips only when needed for groceries and fuel.

There is nothing more important right now then your life and the lives of all Americans during this Pandemic. As the mayor said earlier, the decisions we make now will determine how many deaths we have later.

We ask you to follow CDC precautions and recommendations to wash your hands vigorously and regularly for 20 seconds, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, use a tissue or other type product that can safely be discarded. If you do have to go out for a necessity, practice social distancing and keep away 6 feet or more from others.

Use sanitizers when soap is not available and above all eat right, sleep right and stay healthy.

Your City of Rittman Firefighters, EMTs, and Law Enforcement Officers are working hard to keep you safe during this crisis. Please help us by STAYING AT HOME. Thank You!
