Coronavirus North Fork Updates
North Fork businesses and organizations are dedicated to keeping their patrons and supporters safe and, with that in mind, are postponing events, cancelling programming and closing their doors for the month of March to stop the spread of COVID-19. Let’s keep our spirits up and hope that we’ll be back in the swing of things in April. In the meantime—wash your hands, stop touching your face and don’t panic.
