Coronavirus has been making its way through the Lexington E-9-1-1 Department. Employees there are responsible for taking emergency calls and making connections with public safety departments. E-9-1-1 Director Jonelle Patton said four staff members tested positive for COVID Friday. By Tuesday, that number had grown to ten.
“We have activated our backup center, which is at 150 East Main Street. And we’re using that dually with our main location. So, employees, for instance, who did not work at all last week or could have been immune compromised or expecting…things of that nature…we’re sending then down there,” said Patton.
