[HFDlist] COVID Update

[Russ Hall]

All:

Just a quick update regarding call training.  We will not have training in February.  With the majority of members getting their second vaccination and then the couple of weeks for it to take effect, that will put us on course for next month.  Plan on resuming training on 3/2.

Thanks:

Chief Hall

Since October the positive cases have increased 6 times above where we were from March to October. With the Governors orders reducing gathering numbers, I have decided to cancel Call Training for the month of January.  We will see where we are as we near the end of the month and re-assess as we go.

The latest information we have received has the vaccine being delivered to the city around 1/11 so once we get details on sites and how to setup appointments we will forward that out to the department.  Any questions please feel free to contact me.
