B
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
everybody,
my
name
is
Larry
little
I'm,
the
public
information
officer
here
at
the
County
Emergency
Operations
Center
I'm.
Also
the
managing
editor
of
the
Facebook
live
segments
that
you
see
here
in
English
and
the
reason
I
tell
you.
That
is
from
time
to
time.
You
will
see
me
in
the
comments
also
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
safety
is
a
priority
for
us
here
at
the
EOC,
not
only
at
the
EOC,
but
also
in
this
studio.
During
the
broadcast.
B
We
remove
our
face
mask
so
everyone
can
properly
understand
what
we
are
communicating,
but
I
want
to.
Let
you
know
when
we
come
into
the
building,
we
have
to
go
through
a
nurse's
station.
They
check
our
temperature
I've.
Never
had
my
temperature
check
so
much
in
my
entire
life
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
okay.
We
also
advise
people
to
stay
at
home
if
you
feel
sick.
Our
production
team
also
takes
time
to
mark
spaces
within
this
studio
to
make
sure
that
we
are
six
feet
or
more
apart.
B
C
B
Are
negative,
of
course,
but
there
are
times
when
we
make
mistakes
and
we
do
get
a
little
bit
too
close,
because
this
is
like
home
we're
here
more
than
we
are
at
home,
but
we
are
made
aware
of
those
mistakes
and
we
correct
it,
but
you
know
we
also
have
loved
ones
and
our
part
of
this
community
as
well,
and
we
want
to
slow
the
spread
of
kovat
19.
So
it's
very
important
to
us.
B
I
thought
I
should
address
it,
since
some
of
you
have
expressed
concerns
about
us
having
to
face
mask
off
while
we're
in
the
studio
or
if
we
are
actually
six
feet
apart.
All
right
today,
we're
going
to
be
answering
some
of
your
questions
that
have
come
in
to
us
via
Facebook
to
our
FAQ
team,
as
well
as
to
the
call
center
and
Todd
is
here
this
morning,
because
he
has
all
of
the
answers.
All
the
time
Todd
in
head
been
a
roller
coaster
of
a
week.
B
The
county
was
to
go
into
a
certain
phase
and
of
course,
I
want
to
explain
that
to
people
as
well.
This
is
how
it
works
with
mandates.
It's
the
state,
the
county,
the
city
so
I
know
a
lot
of
people
believe
that
dr.
Cody
was
responsible
for
making
the
changes
that
took
place
on
Wednesday,
and
that
is
not
the
case
as
well.
Dr.
B
Cody
does
not
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
say
bye
to
our
family
and
and
and
comes
to
work
with
all
of
its
power
and
says
I
I
want
to
close
every
place
that
puts
pickles
on
their
burgers.
That's
just
not
how
it
happens.
No
one
benefits
from
that
in
the
county.
When
things
are
closed,
it
creates
a
deficit
in
your
pockets,
as
well
as
in
the
county's
pockets,
as
well
as
a
city.
So
a
lot
of
changes.
People
have
a
lot
of
questions.
B
D
Time
so
this
is
a
question
we'd
be
getting
a
lot
of,
because
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
between
the
state
and
there's
just
been
a
general
confusion
this
week
with
what
the
state's
announcement
was
and
what
we
were
pushing
out
so
I
mean
it's.
It's
completely
understandable
that
our
community
is
a
little
bit,
miss
a
little
confused.
D
So
with
bars,
breweries,
brew,
pubs
and
pubs,
they
would
be
allowed
to
operate
outdoors
as
long
as
they're
providing
food
service
which
include,
which
means
a
meal
and
that
meal
and
alcohol
purchase
needs
to
be
on
the
same
receipt.
If
it's
not
on
the
same
receipt,
they
would
not
be
allowed
to
operate
at
that
time,
so
they
would
have
to
ensure
that
that
meal
and
that
beverage
falls
under
the
same
receipt
and
they
can
do
catering.
They
can
do
a
food
truck
if
need
be,
to
provide
that
service
as
well.
That's.
D
Yeah
we
have
a
huge
influx
of
contractors
and
construction
companies
emailing
us
right
now,
but
if
you're
a
contracting
business
outside
of
the
county
and
you're
subcontracting
to
a
general
contractor
here
for
a
job
site,
you
would
still
needed
to
submit
a
social
distancing
protocol
and
provide
that
social
distancing
protocol
to
the
general
contractor,
who
will
also
have
their
own
social
dissin
protocol
to
manage
that
site.
So
the
intention
is
is
that
the
subcontractor
will
have
their
protocol
and
the
general
contract
will
have
their
protocol.
D
Absolutely
they
can
contact
our
business
Lanham.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
We
have
people
staffing
our
phones
five
days
a
week,
typically
we'll
be
there
over
the
weekend
this
week
and
again
to
help
out
with
our
community,
and
they
can
call
us
a
four.
Oh,
eight,
nine
six,
one,
five,
five:
zero
zero.
D
Parents
can
continue
to
send
their
kids
to
camp,
especially
those
camps
that
are
outdoors.
They
would
still
need
to
continue
to
follow
our
guidance
that
we
provided
on
our
website,
which
is
including
you
know,
pods
of
twelve
making
sure
that
they're
in
that
that
pod
for,
for
that
three-week
period
of
time
before
they
move
on
to
another
group,
indoor
camps
are
still
allowed,
but
with
the
governor's
directive
that
excuse
me
announcement,
they
came
down
earlier
in
the
week.
Those
type
of
camps
that
are
taking
place
in
say
a
fitness
facility
or
a
gym.
D
B
And
work
at
some
point,
but
but
this
county
does
a
great
job
of
taking
care
of
the
people
and
I,
don't
say
it
because
I
work
here,
but
as
soon
as
the
the
governor
made
the
announcement
someone
was
coming
from
across
the
street
at
our
EOC
they're
saying
well,
can
this
business
do
this
and
open
so
we
are
working
very
gently
trying
to
get
businesses
to
be
reopened
here.
This
question
says
our
gyms
completely
closed.
That
made
me
sad.
D
D
D
They
would
need
to
follow
our
guidance
for
fitness
and
gyms,
as
well
as
the
guidance
for
outdoor
gatherings,
because
if
you
can't
have
more
than
60
people,
you
need
to
ensure
that
people
are
wearing
face
covering
still
and
you
want
to
make
sure,
there's
still
six
feet
apart
at
all
times.
So
it's
kind
of
an
amalgamation
of
two
different
guidances
at
that
point,
because
if
you
are
bringing
out
equipment
to
utilize
with
your
trainings
and
group
activities,
they
need
to
make
sure
they're,
sanitized
before
uses
and
so
forth.
D
So,
as
of
Monday,
when
the
announcements
made
from
the
state,
the
only
outdoor
gatherings
that
would
be
currently
allowed
are
those
for
cultural
or
religious
ceremonies
or
for
protests.
The
one
person
per
household
doesn't
necessarily
apply
anymore
due
to
the
state's
announcement
once
we
once
our
cases
get
better,
we
may
default
back
to
that,
but
as
of
right
now,
the
state
has
States
announcement
doesn't
allow
for
outdoor
gatherings
outside
of
those
two
spectrums.
All.
D
So
if
you
have
a
home-based
business
where
you
all
have
customers
potentially
coming
to
your
home
or
employees
that
are
potentially
coming
to
your
home,
you
would
need
to
submit
a
social
distancing
protocol
through
our
website.
But
if
you're,
just
a
home-based
business,
where
you
have
no
interaction
with
the
public
or
anyone
else,
employee
or
otherwise,
you
would
not
necessarily
need
to
submit
a
social
distancing
protocol
at
this
time.
So
but
those
again
who
have
employees
or
customers
coming
to
their
home,
they
would
be
required
to
submit
a
social
testing
protocol
absolutely
I'm.
B
Looking
at
the
comments
here-
and
it
says-
oh
boy-
it
looks
like
he
just
got
a
haircut
there,
you
go
no
and-
and
you
know,
I
I
did
get
a
haircut,
but
you
know
the
salons
open
the
hair
salons
the
nail
salons
they
open
for
for
two
days.
I
was
actually
on
the
phone.
With
my
barber
and
I
said,
I
said
your
vacation
is
over
and
we
were
joking
in
just
within
a
few
seconds.
B
I
heard
the
air
go
out
of
the
room,
because
the
governor
made
the
announcement
that
they
had
to
close
again,
so
we
are
very
connected
with
the
industry.
We
have
friends
that
own
salons
and
we
understand
that
they're
going
through
a
very
difficult
time
right
now
we're
going
to
talk
about
risk
reduction
in
just
a
moment,
but
let's
take
a
look
at
the
data
dashboard
we
have
in
the
county.
B
As
of
yesterday
cumulative
cases,
7,000
of
46
cases,
176
deaths,
three
of
those
new
deaths,
and
definitely
our
thoughts
are
with
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones
due
to
COBIT
19.
Here
we
are
seeing
a
spike,
as
you
can
see
in
the
numbers.
It's
just.
It's
it's
been
going
up
and
with
with
some
businesses,
even
being
closed,
we're
seeing
a
spike
in
the
numbers
here
and
we
have
to
get
those
down.
I
see
your
questions
about
the
hospital.
B
Yes,
the
hospital
numbers
are
going
up,
but
what
we
should
focus
on
is
getting
the
overall
numbers
down
in
the
county
and
slowing
the
spread
and
that's
going
to
help
us
return
to
somewhat
of
a
normal
state.
And
yes,
the
county
did
appear
well,
it
does
appear
on
a
list
that
came
out
that
required
several
of
those
businesses
to
be
closed.
B
But
the
way
you
get
off
that
list-
I
don't
know
this
for
sure,
but
I'm,
it's
math,
it's
you
slow,
the
spread
in
your
county
and
the
hospitalization
rates
are
going
to
go
down
as
well
as
well
as
the
deaths.
Let's
talk
about
Risk
Reduction,
because
that's
the
phase
we
were
expected
to
move
in,
but
people
should
be
doing
anyway,
because
it's
definitely
going
to
slow
the
spread
and
just
talk
about
risk
reduction
for
a
moment.
Absolutely.
D
And
I
think
dr.
Cody
did
a
very
great
job
earlier
on
this
week
of
really
providing
a
message
to
our
community
of
personal
accountability
and
responsibility,
because
we
went
from
a
size,
L
term
place
kind
of
model
to
transitioning
into
the
risk
reduction,
and
that
really
really
really
emphasizes
the
responsibility
of
the
individuals
to
continue
to
follow
the
social
distancing
requirements.
You
know
we
have.
We
have
a
post
that
came
up
early
this
week
on
social
media
that
over
65
percent
of
our
cases
are
coming
from
community
transmission.
D
Well,
how
do
we
stop
that
community
transmission?
We
said
we
stopped
it
by
wearing
our
face
coverings
when
we're
not
at
home.
We
stop
it
by
not
congregating
with
people
outside
of
our
household.
We
stop
it
by
maintaining
that
six-feet
when
we're
out
buying
groceries
or
getting
those
goods
that
we
need
in
order
to
work
from
home
or
survive
and
so
forth.
D
And,
conversely,
it's
really
the
responsibility
of
the
businesses
as
well
to
make
sure
that
they're
strictly
adhering
to
their
social
distancing
protocols
which
are
making
sure
people
are
wearing
their
face
coverings
that
are
required
to
wear
their
face
coverings.
We
obviously
know
we
have
exemptions
for
those
who
medically
can't
wear
one
or
for
those
who
are
under
the
age
of
two
making
sure
that
the
six-feet
is
still
adhere
to
and
making
sure
that
those
high-touch
services
are
still
sanitized
regularly.
D
So
risk
reduction
really
kind
of
focuses
in
on
the
personal
accountability
of
the
individuals
we
have
in
this
county
and
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
going
out
there
and
congregating
and
partying
with
people
outside
of
their
household.
You
know
make
sure
that
you
follow
the
rules
and
that's
how
we
slow
the
spread.
The
faster
we
saw
the
spread,
the
faster
we're
back
to
an
some
type
of
normalcy
or
way
of
life
we
had
before
and.
B
How
come
you
two
aren't
wearing
face?
Masks?
Of
course
I
explained
that
in
the
beginning
of
the
program
that
we
remove
our
face
mask,
so
everyone
can
clearly
understand
the
word.
The
information
that
we're
sharing
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Arkansas,
so
my
pronunciation
may
not
be
familiar
to
you.
So
if
I'm
awful
with
my
mask,
you
may
not
understand
but
trust
me
I
have
them
I.
B
Actually,
you
know
I'm
gonna
at
a
age
where
I
forget
things
so
I
actually
have
to
and
I
put
them
on
right
when
we're
done
with
this
broadcast-
and
you
know
it's
very
important-
you
know
I
as
well
that
Todd
and
I
tested
on
was
the
fourteenth
about
four
days
ago,
and
here
are
the
results
here.
Todd
is
negative,
I'm
negative.
B
We
were
face
coverings
all
day
while
we're
here
at
the
EOC
we're
more
than
six
feet
apart,
but
it's
very
important
to
get
tested
to
know
your
status
as
well
and
I
was
tested
the
other
day
and
I'm
a
baby,
and
this
is
probably
too
much
information.
But
my
nose
has
been
very
dry
for
the
entire
week,
but
I
still
got
tested
and
just
take
a
look
at
the
video
here.
B
B
B
D
B
B
D
I
think
you
bring
up
a
good
point
about
information
and
the
best
way
our
community
can
continue
to
stay
informed
is
sign
up
for
our
newsletter
on
our
public
health
website.
Please
continue
to
monitor
our
social
media
accounts
there
on
Instagram
Facebook
Twitter,
we
post
a
lot.
We
provide
a
lot
of
information.
People
want
to
know
how
fast
and
how
quickly
we
disseminate
information,
social
media
and
our
obviously
our
press
releases
and
so
forth.
We
do
we
use
every
avenue
we
possibly
can
to
make
sure
our
community's
informed.
B
You
you
know
what
we
know
everyone's,
not
on
social
media,
so
we
rely
on
you
who
are
watching
to
be
an
influencer
one
by
you
know
telling
people
why
we
should
be
doing
the
things
to
slow
the
spread
in
the
county,
but
as
well
share
this
information
with
them.
We
understand
everyone
is
not
on
Facebook
or
YouTube.
