CT Comm Issues State of Emergency Plan
As a local business that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of Champaign county, CT Comm wants to ensure that everyone in our community stays up to date on the latest news and safety precautions concerning the COVID-19 virus.
Here are the facts:
- On March 9, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine declared an official state of emergency. This declaration is not intended to incite panic, but rather to ensure we all understand the severity of the situation at hand.
- As of June 30, the CDC has confirmed 2,581,229 positive cases and 126,739 total fatalities in the Unites States so far. In Ohio, the CDC reports 51,789 confirmed cases and 2,863 deaths.
- The virus is believed to have an incubation period of up to 14 days, meaning that it can lie dormant in healthy people who may or may not show symptoms.
- The most at-risk individuals are the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. If you fall into either of these categories, you are encouraged to limit your exposure to and interaction with others.
- As of Sunday, June 4, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced the reopening of certain facilities including entertainment facilities with health and safety restrictions.
CT Comm is considered a Public Utility by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. This means that the services we provide to our local customer base are regulated and required—even in times of emergency. These past months, we have been actively engaged in our State of Emergency plan and continue to provide Champaign county with the telecommunication services it needs, now more than ever. We offer the following updates:
