The CDC and other partners are investigating to determine if
a person can get sick with COVID-19 more than once. Until more is known, the CDC recommends continuing to take steps to <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html">protect yourself and others</a>. <br /><br /><strong>Changes to City services</strong><br /><em>City Council</em><br />The limitations on public comments at City Council meetings due to COVID-19 have been removed so anyone who would like to come to the meeting to speak on an eligible item is able to as they were prior to the limitations.
