Covid spike: City Hall closing to inside traffic (again)

Vernon City Manager Marty Mangum announced early Friday morning that Vernon City Hall will again close to inside business, starting Monday, July 6. All business will be conducted through the office’s drive-thru window. Mangum said this is in response to the rise in coronavirus cases statewide and Gov. Abbott’s recent directives.

The latest numbers from Wilbarger General Hospital show 10 Covid-19 cases in Wilbarger County as of July 3. The state reports 305 tests in the county as of July 1.
