Deerfield Township Coronavirus Updates and Information

The Deerfield Township Board of Trustees, Administration, and Fire/EMS Department are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in coordination with the Warren County Health District, State of Ohio, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  

 

Based on Governor Mike DeWine’s direction earlier today in regards to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, effective immediately, the township will be operating with limited, non-essential, on-site personnel for the next three weeks until April 6, 2020. Essential services provided by the township will be maintained and our Fire and EMS Department will be operating at full capacity during this time.

 

During the three week period the following changes will be in place:

 

  • Township fire stations will be closed to the public and unable to be reserved for events
  • The administrative office will be closed to visitors
  • Our parks will remain open, but all buildings and facilities will be locked to reduce the possibility of transmission of the virus.
