In today's City Update video, Deputy City Manager brings the latest COVID-19 information from County Unified Command, noting 25% of recent positive cases are among high-school students, and asks residents planning gatherings to take precautions to ensure the health of everyone in your group.
Then we're joined by Walla Walla Public Schools Superintendent Wade Smith and Wa-Hi students Jaden Bergevin and Bob Watson, who urge residents to get a COVID vaccine and talk about how having more people vaccinated will help students — and our entire community — return to normal activities more quickly.
Last, Nikki Sharp of the Walla Walla County Department of Community Health notes how important it is to protect the health of our community, and tells how residents with questions or concerns about COVID-19 and vaccines can get in touch with DCH staff to get information.
