Ryan Larsen
Mayor Bindle
(KLZA)-- Community Medical Center CEO Ryan Larsen is hosting a weekly ZOOM meeting to gather and provide information about how various entities are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Monday, Larsen provided an update on activities at the hospital in Falls City noting that procedures are ongoing with people coming to the hospital being heavily tested for COVID-19. He says they are taking more time between patients to make sure everything is disinfected. Larsen says he feels the hospital is one of the safest places around.
Larsen said while the hospital treats COVID-19 victims, it is more likely the victims will be recovering at home. Nationally, most patients are able to quarantine at home and be treated by their primary doctor.
During Monday's update, Falls City Mayor Shawna Bindle noted that as of Monday, City Hall and the Utility Office in Falls City are open again. CDC guidelines are being followed in the offices and the public is encouraged to pay bills online and use the drop box outside to help limit contact. At this time, all other city facilities that have been closed remain closed at this time.
Mayor Bindle did note that at the present time, there is no set date for opening the Aquatic Park or splash pad. Governor Ricketts has said he expects to have guidelines regarding pools opening by the end of May.
