Worcester CO. Commissioners hold session to discuss funding, COVID-19 impacts on fire and ambulance companies
December 9, 2020
WORCESTER COUNTY, Md.- Worcester County commissioners held a special session Wednesday with fire and ambulance companies to discuss issues surrounding COVID-19 and CARES Act funding.
“There’s a large amount of frustration with the county, the county commissioners rely on staff for a lot of these things and it seems that staff somewhat dropped the ball on this,” Joe Mitrecic, Worcester County Commissioner President, said.
For these companies, the pandemic has changed how they operate.
They are spending money on PPE, they are having to disinfect a lot more, and for some their calls are taking longer.
