<p><strong>Changes to City services</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On May 19 Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services launched a new COVID-19 information hub for the City of Columbia and Boone County. The hub, updated daily, serves as a resource for the entire community with detailed information on the latest COVID-19 case statistics, testing, hospital status and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginning Wednesday, July 1, the City of Columbia will no longer produce the daily "City of Columbia coronavirus (COVID-19) update" as the daily case information is available on the hub. The hub can be viewed by visiting</span><a href="http://www.como.gov/Coronavirus"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">CoMo.gov/Coronavirus</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and clicking on "Boone County Information Hub." Additionally, PHHS publishes a daily "End of Day Summary" which can be viewed at </span><a href="https://www.como.gov/coronavirus/official-documents/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.como.gov/coronavirus/official-documents/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other important announcements, health orders or changes to City services will be shared with our community with individual press releases and social media to ensure the community is provided the most up-to-date information.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Official information from the City of Columbia and Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) can be found at CoMo.gov/Coronavirus.
