<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>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span>
<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.
