“In order for us to cruise into October in a safe manner, we need to be careful this weekend,” Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich says in today’s Be Prepared report, published as the city kicks off a three-day Labor Day weekend.
The holiday, which traditionally brings the curtain down on Summer each year, is one that has brought an air of caution from the mayor this year, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to show more than 30 new positive tests each day in Harrison County.
“The fact is, we saw a bump in cases after the Fourth of July,” Gilich said, “and now, with Labor Day approaching, we’re hoping to avoid another bump.
“I ask that you all be mindful of the safety protocols in place to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.”
The Be Prepared report also includes the latest COVID numbers as well as a view from the Biloxi Visitors Center.
