I'BE THAT STORY COMING UP
MAYOR THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
WELL I WANTED TO START TODAY OFF
WITH CORONAVIRUS UPDATE. THE
MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH MARKS FALL RIVER IN ITS
YELLOW RISK CATEGORY. WHAT DO
YOU MKAE OF THIS?
WE ARE NOT IN A SPECIFIC WITH A
GROUP OF PEOPLE, OUR POSITIVE
RATE IS A LITTLE HIGH, SO WE'RE
STAYING IN YELLOW.
JUST THIS WEEK FALL RIVER
SCHOOLS REPORTED ITS FIRST CASE
OF CORONAVIRUS, CAN YOU TELL US
MORE ABOUT WHO THAT PERSON IS?
THERE IS NO CASE IN THE SCHOOL
SO NO CASES IN THE FALL RIVER
PUBLIC SCHOOLS? MAYOR YOU'RE A
FORMER EDUCATOR WHAT'S YOUR TAKE
ON HOW BACK TO SCHOOL HAS GONE
SO FAR?
A LOT ARE HOME AND WITH THIS
HYBRID MODEL I THINK IN SCHOOL
IT SEEMED THAT HAVING THE KIDS
IN THE CLASSROOM WAS WORKING.
THEY WANT TO BE BACK.
MAYOR THE OTHER ISSUE I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS THE
CENSUS. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW
MANY PEOPLE IN FALL RIVER HAVE
RESPONDED?
WE STARTED OFF THIS CAMPAIGN
SEEING FORTY FOUR FORTY FIVE,
TEN TWELVE POINTS BUT THATS NOT
REALLY WHERE WE WANT TO BE. BUT
IT'S NOT LIKE TRADITIONAL TIME
YOU CAN'T GO UP TO PEOPLS DOORS
RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE NOT
INTERESTED. THEY NEED THEM TO DO
IT ON THE COMPUTER. WE CAN'T
JUST GO OUT AND DO IT OURSELVES.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP WORKING
