A
A
Prior
to
that,
I
have
been
working
in
public
and
private
health
systems
for
the
last
six
years,
I
have
served
as
health
director
for
alhama
county
cns,
where
I
ran
the
local
public
health
department
and
the
coordinated
community
response
to
kobe
19.
I
want
the
opportunity
to
share
my
knowledge
experience
in
our
response
with
the
bank
accountant
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
from
leaders
and
in
our
community
about
their
experience
during
this
pandemic.
A
The
roles,
the
critical
role
of
the
public
health
health,
are
to
prevent,
protect
and
promote.
These
main
functions
are
integrated
and
woven
into
each
program,
each
service
and
each
response,
including
our
response
to
cob
and
19,
and
we
prevent
disease
by
identifying
confirmed
cases
and
those
at
risk
of
exposure,
and
we
quarantine
them
appropriately,
so
that
other
people
in
our
community
are
not
exposed.
A
We
protect
our
community
by
providing
access
to
testing
sites
where
they
can
be
tested
if
they
are
exhibiting
symptoms
or
may
have
been
exposed
to
alcohol,
19
and
helping
us
identify
new
cases.
So
we
can
protect
others
by
reducing
potential
exposure
to
the
disease
and
promote
strategies
that
aim
to
stop
the
spread
of
kobe
19.
This
includes
infection
control
and
mitigation
measures
that
prevent
the
spread
and
protect
you.
People
who
live,
work,
learn
and
grow

Throughout
this
pandemic,
we
have
sought
guidelines
to
inform
our
decision
making
to
the
response
of
the
pandemic.
Our
doctors,
the
county,
the
bank,
has
been
proactive,
and
our
response
is
proof
of
that.
We
have
been
a
o
Of,
the
first
counties
in
the
county
to
have
declared
a
local
emergency,
a
stay-at-home
policy.
We
have
also
launched
a
requirement
that
everyone
wear
face
masks
weeks
before
the
state
did
the
same
as
a
result
of
the
actions
and
responsibilities
that
have
been
taken
by
people
in
the
community.
A
The
bank
contract
has
had
lower
rates
of
transmission
of
kobe
19
than
most
metropolitan
areas
in
our
state
and
in
the
south
of
the
country.
However,
since
we
began
the
phase
2
of
reopening,
we
have
seen
increases
in
numbers
in
bank
county
and
an
increase
people
who
have
become
so
seriously
ill
that
they
must
be
hospitalized
at
our
weekly
meeting.
They
told
us
about
strategies
to
reduce
that
kobe
19.
A
One
proposal
is
to
require
restaurants
to
stop
to
serve
alcohol
after
nine
or
ten
at
night,
as
some
restaurants
become
more
More
like
bars
in
the
afternoon,
when
customers
stop
wearing
masks
and
do
not
respect
distance
guidelines,
another
step
is
to
increase
police
presence.
This
would
increase
the
ability
to
compress
to
comply
with
the
measures
that
have
been
ordered.
We
also
see
that
for
some
it
restored
businesses
who
are
blatantly
violating
these
orders.
A
This
weekend
and
next
week
there
will
be
a
cooperative
effort
between
our
health
departments,
police
and
fire
departments
to
work
to
increase
compliance.
We
hope
these
measures
will
be
better
in
local
policies
so
that
we
must
increase
the
orders
that
will
impact
our
businesses
and
restaurants
that
are
already
in
so
many
difficulties,.
A
However,
the
staff
of
this
team
will
give
a
report
next
week
if
it
cannot
be
improved
in
this
way.
Despite
the
new
measures,
it
is
possible
that
we
have
no
choice
but
to
restrict
the
sale
of
alcohol
after
a
certain
hour
in
the
evening,
like
other
communities
in
north
carolina.
In
closing,
I
want
to
reiterate
my
thanks
to
everyone
in
the

for
their
efforts
in
getting
us
through
this

time.

to

two

is
not
doing
their
best
effort
to
prevent
the

of

areas
of

are
