A
Hello,
my
name
is
cecilia
dobs-walton
and
I'm
the
city's
public
affairs
specialist
I'm
here
to
deliver
today's
be
prepared
report.
This
is
being
recorded
on
monday
july,
the
13th
2020
at
2
45
in
the
afternoon
today,
the
mississippi
state
department
of
health
reports,
a
total
of
36
680
cases
of
the
coronavirus,
statewide
and
1
250
deaths
statewide.
A
In
the
past
24
hours,
393
new
cases
of
the
coronavirus
were
identified
in
2058.
New
cases
were
reported
since
friday,
which
is
when
the
city's
last
video
update
was
recorded.
Also
in
the
past
24
hours,
one
new
death
was
reported.
Statewide
and
35
new
deaths
were
reported
since
friday.
This
chart
shows
the
total
number
of
positive
tests.
Since
the
crisis
began.
A
This
chart
shows
the
14
day
track
on
the
cases
statewide
in
harrison
county.
The
state
department
of
health
reports
we've
seen
six
positive
tests
of
the
coronavirus
in
the
past
24
hours
and
87.
Since
friday,
this
chart
shows
the
harrison
county
running
14-day
average,
see
the
red
line
it
continues
to
increase.
A
A
We
would
hope
that
all
businesses
follow
the
guidelines.
Essentially,
everyone
working
in
a
business
in
biloxi
is
supposed
to
be
wearing
a
mask.
That's
been
the
guideline
since
may.
Today.
The
difference
is
that
everyone
should
now
have
a
face
covering
went
out
in
the
public.
So,
what's
the
penalty,
if
you
do
not
wear
a
mask
besides
either
contracting
or
spreading
the
virus,
you
risk
the
lives
of
your
family,
your
friends
and
your
co-workers.
A
B
A
To
wear
a
face,
mask
and
police
could
charge
the
person
with
trespassing
if
they
refuse
to
leave
the
business,
but
is
that
really
where
we
want
to
go?
We
ask
you
to
please
wear
a
face
covering
that
is
a
covering
over
both
your
nose
and
mouth
and
please
think
of
others.
As
mayor
gillis
has
said,
this
is
not
meant
to
infringe
on
anyone's
rights
under
the
constitution.
It's
meant
to
treat
others
with
respect
in
the
way
you
would
want
to
be
treated
and
speaking
of
the
constitution.
This
brings
us
to
another
very
important
issue.
A
A
A
That
means
biloxi
will
be
shortchanged
on
all
types
of
funding,
public
services,
emergency
services,
school
funding,
public
transit,
federal
programs
and
the
list
goes
on
and
on.
There
is
no
good
reason
for
biloxi
not
to
have
a
100
response
rate
on
the
census.
It
takes
only
a
few
minutes,
eight
or
nine
minutes
or
so,
and
you
can
do
it
from
the
convenience
of
online
go
to
this
website
and
all
you
need
to
do
is
fill
in
your
address
and
you'll
be
guided
through
a
number
of
easy
to
answer.
A
B
What
is
the
2020
census
every
10
years?
The
census
records
everyone
living
in
this
country,
it's
written
in
the
constitution
and
comes
in
a
questionnaire
that
counts
everyone
who
lives
at
your
address.
On
april
1st,
the
data
can
be
used
to
inform
funding
for
services
like
fire
stations,
schools,
clinics
and
representation
that
affect
your
community.
D
How
will
2020
census
data
be
used
where
there
are
more
people?
There
are
more
needs
for
public
services.
That's
why
the
census
is
used
by
the
government
to
inform
funding
decisions
each
year,
but
that's
not
all.
It's
also
used
by
non-profits
to
inform
services
by
businesses
to
create
jobs
and
even
by
students
for
school
projects.
E
How
does
the
2020
census
affect
representation?
There
are
435
seats
in
the
house
of
representatives,
these
get
distributed
to
the
50
states
by
population
and
an
accurate
census
response
helps
your
state
get
the
right
amount
of
seats.
States
with
smaller
populations
get
at
least
one,
while
states
with
larger
populations
might
get
more.
F
How
do
I
take
the
2020
census
in
march?
2020
every
address
in
the
country
will
receive
an
invitation
to
complete
a
simple
questionnaire
and
there
are
three
ways
to
respond
number
one.
Do
it
online
number
two
call
by
phone
number:
three:
send
it
by
mail
for
those
who
don't
respond,
a
census
taker
from
your
community
will
follow
up
and
assist.
You.
