MURRAY â Even though some people in Murray and Calloway County are now receiving a vaccine intended to fight COVID-19, the disease still holds a firm grip.
That was evident Tuesday afternoon, because instead of gathering as a group at Murray City Hall, the incoming members of the Murray City Council had their swearing-in ceremony via virtual communication. The council had returned to in-person meetings for a few months after going to virtual shortly after the pandemic entered Murray and Calloway County in March, but went back to virtual in November after a major surge of cases locally.
âIâm thinking this is going to be the wave of the future for a while,â said Councilman Burton Young, who was among those raising his right hand at the direction of Mayor Bob Rogers, who directed the ceremony from the City Council Chambers inside City Hall while staring at a computer screen full of squares, inside which were images of the council members.
