STONE HARBOR – For months, the county Health Department held weekly meetings with municipal mayors to brief them on the progress in the battle against the pandemic.
At the July 21 Stone Harbor Council meeting, Mayor Judith Davies-Dunhour said the Tuesday morning meetings would cease, and be held on an as-needed basis going forward.
Davies-Dunhour said the Health Department felt the July uptick in cases was showing a downward trend. The mayor said she also noticed more masks being worn and more social distancing being observed by people in the business district.
