The City of Manteca is suspending all “non-essential operations” in a bid to reduce the municipal workforce exposure to COVID-19.
City Manager Miranda Lutzow said the move similar to what was done at the start of the pandemic emergency in March is designed to avoid a surge of municipal workforce COVID-19 cases that could cripple Manteca’s ability to provide essential services.
It means a wide variety of services such as having someone answer the phone promptly when you call city hall to tree trimming will go to the wayside until coronavirus conditions improve.
