COVID-19 seems to have slowed activity to a standstill around the Lehigh Valley. Each township is having its own look at how to handle the situation.

Hanover Township has closed all public facilities, including the park areas.

Hanover has also canceled its popular Easter egg hunt, a fundraiser for Han-Le-Co Volunteer Fire Department.

The township is largely a business district, and most of the businesses are following their corporate guidelines. Public gathering places are following the restrictions set up by the state.

The township does not have a police force; enforcement is with Pennsylvania State Police.

With the new township manager, there is an emphasis on getting information to residents using digital technologies rather than traditional newsletters. The situation is dynamic and residents are advised to keep current with social media.
