_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Greetings, Neighbors! As summer approaches in this extraordinary year, we know many of us are anticipating travel to Greensboro and Vermont. The following information will help you plan your return this year, particularly in light of the current requirement for travelers from other states to quarantine at home for 14 days after arriving in Vermont.
Vermont’s approach to Covid 19 is rapidly changing, so we strongly suggest that you check for the most current information available from these Press Releases from the Governor and the advice from the Office of the Governor on Covid 19.
AT THIS TIME, returning Vermonters should be aware of the following orders. These orders have been extended from May 15, 2020 to September 15, 2020.
1) The STAY HOME/STAY SAFE order issued by the Governor which asks residents to limit their activities. What Stay Home, Stay Safe means for Vermonters
2) The EXECUTIVE ORDER effective March 30, 2020, issued by the Governor which institutes a Quarantine requirement for people traveling to or returning to Vermont from other states. This requires all travelers to Vermont from other states* to self-quarantine at home when they arrive in Vermont for 14 days. Importantly, this requires residents to quarantine as well if they leave the state for more than one day for any reason other than limited essential reasons. On May 12, Vermont announced the availability of Covid-19 testing once you have been in Vermont for seven days. If your test is negative you can end your quarantine period. Testing locations and registration
For specific guidance, the State has prepared this document What is required for isolation, quarantine and self-observation?
*During June, the State of Vermont has amended restrictions to allow residents from specific counties in New England and Eastern Seaboard states plus Pennsylvania and Ohio have been allowed to enter Vermont without a quarantine period. See this map for which counties are included. The quarantine period remains in effect for all other visitors.
We Will Support You!
It is clear that those returning to Greensboro will need the support of neighbors and friends in the first two weeks after arriving as they comply with the quarantine restrictions. The Greensboro town website has important information about the Greensboro Emergency Response Team and the robust efforts to support our entire Greensboro family during this time. Local volunteers are available to assist with home delivery of supplies, groceries, medicine, and other requirements when you are quarantining during the first 14 days. Please refer to the Town Website section “For Immediate Needs” to arrange assistance with deliveries and other needs.
As of mid August, The Willey’s Store is open to the public, but a limited number of customers may enter at one time. There is a queue in place for entrance and customers must wear masks and be 6 feet away from each other. the Craftsbury General Store is not open to the public. In both places you can place orders either online or via phone for pickup. Delivery can be arranged with Willey’s Store. Payment will be taken by credit card over the phone.

Some area restaurants are beginning to offer a dine-in option, but most continue to be take out only – call specific restaurants to inquire about their status. Area businesses have been allowed to reopen in some cases, but you should call ahead to see if they are allowing in store shopping.
