City Of Salem: Notice About City Operations/staffing

Press release from the City of Salem:

December 28, 2021

Given the recent increase in COVID-19 cases, the City of Salem is currently managing operations with limited personnel due to COVID-19 infections requiring isolation or quarantining of employees. For the safety of colleagues and the public, those employees isolating (due to a positive case) or quarantining (due to exposure to a positive case) are not permitted to report to work in person. As a result, some City departments are operating with fewer staff than normal.

If you have business to transact with the City and are able to do so online using www.salem.com you are strongly encouraged to do so. Direct lines and email addresses for specific departments and staff can be found at www.salem.com/departments. The SeeClickFix online tool can be used for most routine City service requests: www.salem.com/seeclickfix.

The City continues to monitor case data and may make other adjustments or modifications to operations as circumstances warrant. Any such changes will be posted at www.salem.com and on the City’s social media channels.

Please know that while response times may be impacted during this temporary staffing challenge, departments will continue to endeavor to respond to all inquiries in as timely a manner as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience.
