TAMPA â When Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and other city officials gathered Monday for a news conference on the Super Bowl, one blue uniform was conspicuously absent.
Police Chief Brian Dugan planned to be at the event held a day after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC championship game, clinching a spot in the first-ever hometown Super Bowl. It would have been Duganâs first public event after a bout with the coronavirus. But the chief tested positive again for the virus on Saturday, delaying plans to emerge from quarantine.
