Happy Thursday, all. Isaac and I met this morning for the first time with the new Council chair and vice-chair - David Sewell and David Shipley respectively. We are excited as an Administration to work with them this year! And we appreciate our outgoing Council leadership team as well - George Handley and David Harding. They, along with their very able staff members, are continuing to do good things for Provo and the city organization!
We had a bit of a surge yesterday in Covid cases. Provo had 195 new cases - about 15% of the County's total positive cases. It is usually good if we can be below 20% of the County case load (reflective of our population) but we still don't have a full complement of students back in town. So we will continue to watch the spread in our community closely over the coming weeks.
