COVID-19 Update - Wednesday, May 13th

In order to support your families being able to take a deep breath, turn away from constant news updates, and create a new temporary normal, my office will continue sending a daily update on the COVID-19 public health emergency and will post online on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

It is my hope that one reliable update each day will allow you to take a deep breath, oversee all that is happening in your own life and home, and have a reliable source of news you can count on to be up to date and accurate. As always, previous updates are on our website and linked beneath the graphic below.

My greatest concerns right now are your lives and livelihoods. We are working hard to keep you and your loved ones safe, and to fight for our small businesses in an unprecedented crisis.

A Message from Health Care Providers

Health care providers are urging folks to not delay seeking emergency or primary health care. Hospitals and health care providers have implemented multiple different safety measures to protect patients. It is important to continue care for those with chronic conditions. Primary care is available virtually and in person, if needed. Patients should be sure to reach out to their primary care provider during this time.
