Akron Mayor Tells Personal Experience With COVID-19 Featured

Written by
By December, many Americans have some experience with COVID-19, whether they know someone who has contracted it and maybe even perished from it, or have had it themselves. One of those individuals happens to be the mayor of Akron.

Mayor Dan Horrigan joined the Ray Horner Morning Show on Thursday to talk about his personal experience with COVID-19, which, luckily and thankfully, was a mild case. He urges the citizens of Akron to keep their guards up with social distancing, masking, and avoiding crowds, especially during the no gathering ordinance. The main goal with the virus in the community, according to the mayor, is to not overwhelm the hospitals, but if that occurs, the city has backup alternative facilities that can be "fully implementable."

As for city services in the home stretch of 2020 and into 2021, Horrigan says services such as leaf pickup and snow plowing will continue, even while federal dollars are not flowing in.
