An announcement of the closure of non-essential Jackson businesses will be announced soon to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), according to a late Saturday night Facebook post by City of Jackson Mayor Scott Conger.
The following is what Conger posted at 10:44 p.m. Saturday:
“It has become overwhelmingly apparent that we must take every step that we can to flatten the curve. Our window is small and we have to use it. I’ve been listening to the medical community on the front lines and this needs to happen. We will be announcing a closure of non-essential businesses soon.”
