Local officials will give comments and updates about the response to COVID-19 in Daviess County during a joint Facebook Live session today from 6-7 p.m.

Joining the session will be Judge-Executive Al Mattingly, Owensboro City Manager Nate Pagan, Green River District Health Department Director Clay Horton, Owensboro Health Chief Medical Officer Francis DuFrayne and Emergency Management Director Andy Ball.

The session will be streamed on the DCEMA Facebook page here.

The public can submit questions during the stream, and they will be addressed at the end of the session.

Mattingly and Pagan will address business practices and the importance of social distancing in public. Horton will give public health updates, while DuFrayne will discuss what they are working on collectively at OH. Ball will talk about new emergency management updates.

“I suspect there will eventually be a week when there’s just not a lot of new updates,” said Ball, who will moderate the event. “But right now there is new information that we want to push out on a weekly basis. We want people to know we’re taking this seriously, and we want them to take this seriously.”
