Today the City of WP provided 400 bags of groceries at the Youth Bureau at Eastview School. Thank you to DPW, the Youth Bureau, Sam’s of Gedney Way, and the many volunteers who came out to lend a hand. The YB will be doing another distribution tomorrow at 10:00 am. Would you like to volunteer to help your community? Please email volunteer@whiteplainsny.gov
As a reminder, individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 which include fever, cough, and congestion can walk in to be tested at White Plains Hospital Emergency Department.
In today’s call with local officials County Executive Latimer indicated that it can now be definitively stated we are in the plateau phase with regard to the virus. We got here because of our compliance with the social distancing protocols and we will continue down a positive track as long as we continue to abide by them. And yes I will keep saying this every time I call because it’s important. Together, as a community, we are saving lives.
If you have recovered from the coronavirus, you are
encouraged to donate your plasma. Please see the NY blood center’s
website at: https://nybc.org to fill out the donor request form. The demand is high and you may save a life.
As was mentioned last week, we will now be doing scheduled robocalls Monday Wednesday and Friday unless circumstances warrant otherwise. Remember we are standing together by staying apart!
