The Springfield-Greene County Health Department will host a joint media briefing with Springfield Public Schools at 3 p.m. today, Monday, September 28, in the Training Room of the Public Safety Center at 330 W. Scott.
We ask that members of the media—one per outlet—arrive 10-15 minutes early for a health screening. Please wear a face mask and practice physical distancing while in the briefing.
The briefing will provide a COVID-19 update and discuss the importance of quarantine to slow the spread of the virus in our community.
Media can utilize footage from a pool camera but will be spaced to maintain physical distancing. Reporters and the public can continue to tune in to the livestream on the City’s and Health Department’s Facebook pages or at https://cityview.springfieldmo.gov/livestream/.
For reporters who will not appear in person, questions can be directed via text message to Cora Scott, 417-380-3352.
