Mayor Paige Chase sent a statement to ML, saying, —- I understand the frustration that everyone feels dealing with Covid19 virus. My family and I are having some of the very same frustrations.

I hope you all understand the seriousness of our nations situation. The healthy are not at the most risk. Our elderly, very young, and our friends and family who have underlying health conditions ARE at risk. There are also many of us with UNDIAGNOSED health conditions who are at risk and aren’t aware.

Social distancing is an attempt to seriously reduce the number of new cases. If this works, our health care system should be able treat patients who are diagnosed with Covid19 AND those who have other diagnoses not related to COVID19. It is highly contagious and the only known cure is to NOT contract the virus. The only way to NOT contract this virus is to STAY AWAY FROM OTHERS. Our local health care providers,  our hospital, and many of our industries here in town are taking measures to reduce exposure for their employees AND their customers.

I am not afraid neither are my family members, but we are greatly reducing the contact we have with others.

The city will continue to work to provide all the necessary services we provide to our citizens. I ask that you please reduce your contact with our employees so they remain healthy.

City Hall will be closed to public traffic until further notice. Please place ALL water payments in the receptacle on Gaines St in front of City Hall until further notice. You may also pay your water bill by going to our website, www.monticelloarkansas.us, or by calling our phone number 870-367-4400.
