230 masks out; mayor reminds those needing them to call City Hall; says likely to be needed for some time

About 230 masks made by Midway volunteers have been given out since distribution began Monday morning, Mayor Grayson Vandegrift told the City Council and the Messenger in an email at 2:48 p.m. Tuesday.

"We will continue giving masks, using social distancing measures, all week and well into next week," Vandegrift wrote. "Some folks have been calling the pharmacy for them, so I’m just reminding everyone to please call City Hall to arrange a time to pull up in the 10-minute parking spot, where an employee can place one in your back window on the passenger side or can pass them through the night drop."

Looking ahead, the mayor wrote, "It’s likely that even when some regulations are loosened, which is not likely to happen until at least May at the very earliest, people will still be encouraged to wear masks when going out to the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. For that reason, we’ll be running this program for the foreseeable future."
