Description
As families gear up for online learning, the university student population returns, and we continue to confront the COVID crisis, your City government is working hard to keep us all safe and recover forward. Check in with Mayor Hamilton for this week's video message.
A
A
We
do
continue
to
see
some
indications
of
resurgence
locally,
not
dramatic,
but
real,
including
hospitalizations,
which
actually
have
have
caused
the
hospital
to
begin
to
have
to
move
some
patients
to
other
locations
or
even
other
systems,
just
to
primarily
because
testing
delays
mean
they
have
to
isolate
more
people
for
longer
in
their
rooms
and
takes
up
hospital
space,
but
that's
an
indicator
of
challenges.
We
know
tens
of
thousands
of
students
will
be
arriving.
A
We
know,
of
course,
the
school
system
locally
here,
they're
they're
doing
online
first,
but
all
of
these
are
indicators
that
that
explain
why
we
had
to
take
the
steps
back
that
we
did
a
couple
weeks
ago,
including
changes
at
bars,
restaurants
and
also
changes
in
social
gathering
sizes.
Now
those
step
backs
may
not
be
enough.
We
are
going
to
have
to
continue
to
monitor,
what's
been
going
on
and
we
will
continue
to
monitor
and
it
may
be
like
some
cities,
indianapolis
you've
probably
seen
have
had
to
step
back
even
further.
A
We
may
need
to
do
that
and
if
so,
it
will
probably
happen
in
short
days
or
weeks,
we'll
continue
to
watch
that,
so
your
mask,
wearing
your
physical
distancing
are
making
the
difference
that
we
need
to
see.
We
need
to
have
that
continue.
Avoiding
indoor
gatherings
when
you
can
really
and
large
ones
are
really
where
we
worry
about
super
spreader
events
with
large
numbers
of
people
indoors.
A
A
also
we're
continuing
to
work
on
the
budget
and
some
other
things
happening
recover
forward,
which
is
the
way
I've
tried
to
talk
about
how
we
get
out
of
this
pandemic
in
the
right
way.
Moving
toward
economic
justice
toward
racial
justice
toward
climate
justice
this
week,
there'll
be
a
city
council
hearing
wednesday
night,
looking
at
the
first
phase
of
that,
we'll
also
see
actually
on
thursday
night
there's
a
public
meeting
for
planning
for
the
hospital
reuse.
So
work
continues
in
the
city,
but
the
recover
forward
is
a
is
a
front
of
mind,
effort
to
think
about.
A
How
do
we
come
out
of
this
in
the
right
way?
We
know
people
are
struggling,
unemployment
is
high.
Stress
is
high,
we're
continuing
to
work
together
in
the
government
to
try
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
move
us
forward
in
the
right
ways
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
Please
reach
out
to
me
if
you
have
any
questions,
concerns
through
the
office
happy
to
try
to
connect
and
please
keep
taking
care
of
yourselves,
take
care
of
bloomington
and
and
we'll
look
forward
to
continuing
to
update
you
on
items
that
are
happening.
