This year, COVID-19 is making things more complicated.
In the Town of Denmark in Lewis County, the highway department is on COVID lockdown.
“I have 5 employees who can’t come into work until they test negative or the 14 days pass,” said Highway Superintendent Patrick Mahar.
The good news? The employees can still operate plows, with added precautions and disinfectant wipes.
“They will be able to drive, they just have to have a mask on and they have to have eye protection. And when they’re done plowing they have to go home and quarantine,” Mahar said.
