The newly-elected Town Council quickly jumped into a discussion on local Covid19 numbers, and how to keep the community safe during a virtual meeting on Monday, Dec. 7.
Block Island Medical Center Director Dr. Tom Warcup presented some grim news: new Covid cases were climbing on the island.
“Today was another difficult day, and I think we are entering a real challenging time for Block Island. Last week, we had approximately 10 new positive Covid-19 cases and today we had four,” said Warcup. He added he has been in touch with a family unit on the island that could potentially add at least another 10 positive Covid-19 cases.
