Nick says “We believe the city is doing a great job at social distancing.”  Jimenez also thanked the community for the outpouring of support. He says businesses and community groups are helping with the needs of the people and the police department. Nick Goes on to say “we will get through this together. Like we always do”

The Order is in place until April the 24th. Anyone who is not preforming an essential job or task must stay at home. Plus, maintain a separation of at least 6 feet and no more then ten people in a group.
