Cochrane Mayor Jeff Genung will provide a local update on the Town’s response to the evolving COVID-19 situation.
The live video will be broadcast on the Town’s main Facebook page. Community members are invited to submit questions on Facebook ahead of time.
About 500 people tuned in to Genung’s video which broadcast at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Mar. 16. Genung was joined by Drew Hyndman, acting CAO and Senior Manager, development services at the Town of Cochrane. Earlier that day the Town of Cochrane announced the closure of town-run facilities in an effort to extend virus protection for staff and the community.
The pair answered several questions from viewers surrounding the virus outbreak and the impacts on the community.
On Thursday Mar. 12 the Town of Cochrane enacted their Municipal Emergency Response Plan as a proactive measure to protect the community and Town staff and to coordinate responses and communications.
Despite the confirmed cases, the risk level of COVID-19 in Cochrane remains low.
