LAKEMORE Council members spoke about how hard COVID-19 has hit the village s fire and police departments.
During the Dec. 21 meeting, Council President Laura Cochran said the safety forces have taken a hard hit in the last weeks as the Fire Department has had 25 people that have had the virus or been quarantined. One of the Police Department’s officers recently got out of the hospital and his wife went into the hospital the day of the meeting.
Officers are going into houses not knowing if people have COVID or not. Village Administrator Tracy Fast said this is the reason they are keeping the Municipal Building closed. She said there are envelopes to put payments in.
