<br /> Information for Members of,Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket's Seasonal Community:
<br /> Updated as of May 1, 2020 - Effective through May 18, 2020
<br /> Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket are small year-round communities whose residents appreciate,
<br /> welcome, and depend upon you, our seasonal residents, non-resident homeowners,'seasonal workforce,
<br /> and visitors.
<br /> During the COVID-19 pandemic and the upcoming summer season, we all understand the desire to return
<br /> to visit, work, or live on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. So far, we have been successful
<br /> ,in limiting the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our relatively isolated communities by implementing
<br /> early and vigilant social distancing measures per the guidance of the public health officials.
<br /> However, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard,
<br /> and Nantucket remain highly vulnerable to a major surge,in new cases due to the highly contagious and
<br /> insidious nature of this disease and the seasonal nature of our communities that creates an influx in
<br /> population in the warmer months.
<br /> If you are planning to relocate or travel to Cape Cod or the Islands, please help us all to remain safe and
<br /> healthy by being aware of the following information and taking the precautionary measures outlined
<br /> below by public health officials.
