JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — On Friday, Mayor Lenny Curry provided a detailed recap of some of the important information you need to know as the city prepares to distribute the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Curry appeared live on Good Morning Jacksonville at 6:45 a.m.
"I am not going to shut businesses down in our city," said Curry. He said the most powerful tool against COVID-19 is to continue to mask up and social distance.
In regards to federal recommendations to shut down the state as a precautionary measure against COVID-19, Curry says it's not an 'us' against 'them' scenario. He said he has to take the opinions and insights of multiple experts to determine what is best for Jacksonville.
