Free COVID-19 Vaccines and Free COVID Testing in Wilmington
January 21, 2022
Mayor Purzycki urges residents to beat COVID by getting vaccinated and tested, and not becoming complacent
Mayor Mike Purzycki continues to urge City residents to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Mayor said our adherence to science and common sense over these many long months has produced the reward of a more normal schedule for personal and public gatherings, and that we’ll do even better as a City if we continue to get vaccinated, boosted, and tested for the virus. He urged residents to follow CDC guidelines regarding mask-wearing, social distancing, and other preventative measures until we can be sure that the virus threat is over.
