Management of the Jamestown Regional Airport began planning for the coronavirus pandemic before the first case was reported in the area, according to Katie Hemmer, director of the facility.
"We actually started implementing things in February 2020," she said. "When the regulations came in we were able to add signage almost immediately. At the time those things were implemented, travel numbers were dropping because of the travel restrictions so it wasn't difficult."
