HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - March 11 marks one year since the first case of COVID-19 appeared in the state of Mississippi. It was diagnosed at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg.
To honor healthcare workers and all they have done, the city is encouraging people to help âPaint the Town Redâ this Friday.
Mayor Toby Barker suggested a few ways people can participate.
âPeople can wear red, they can put red on their doors and mailboxes, they can post on social media letting people know the healthcare sector is appreciated particularly as we hit this one-year anniversary of COVID,â Barker said.
