Dr. Ransom and Health Department Director, Brenda Pfzenmaier, will provide a COVID update at the City Commission Study Session this afternoon. Health officials are urging people not to go to school or work if they have any symptoms at all, to mask up and follow all COVID protocol to help further prevent the spread of the virus.
