What Is Heritage Village Doing During COVID-19? 
 
The safety, security, and well-being of Heritage Village residents is our number one priority. We have proactively implemented several preventative measures due to the coronavirus. We will continue to follow the recommendations of state and local officials and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and will take appropriate additional action if needed.
     Self-quarantine is the best defensive measure we can take against COVID-19. Not being in the presence of family and friends is one of the most unfortunate side effects of what we must do to stay safe. Those of us with smartphones and computers may use technologies like Skype or FaceTime to see and be seen by family and friends. Nothing can replace a hug by a loved one during stressful times, but a digital hug is second best.
 
Our New Guidelines:

Self-Quarantine Update
Thank you for continuing to practice safe social distancing during this turbulent time. As an extra precautionary measure, we are requesting that a 14-day self-quarantine be imposed when you return to Heritage Village from traveling; for any new Tenant(s) or new Unit Owner(s); or for any family member(s) temporarily staying with you. We are all in this together, and it is up to each one of us to do what we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Heritage Village and the community.
