During the caucus, the city heard the latest regarding coronavirus and the community’s response from Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Director Tim Herrington and Northwest Georgia Public Health Director Dr. Gary Voccio.

“I would be remiss if I did not remind our viewing audience to get a flu shot and to thoroughly wash their hands in light of what we heard during our caucus,” said Rome City Manager Sammy Rich during the meeting.
