(Carrollton, Ky.) – Carrollton Mayor Robb Adams took to Facebook live last night to discuss the coronavirus in the county.
Mayor Adams started off by thanking residents for doing what was asked of them and staying inside and maintaining social distancing.
He also reiterated the fact that the food bank is still open for those who are in need of items if you are unable to get out and get those items yourself you can contact city hall and they will assist you.
“We do not want you to go without if you need assistance don’t be afraid to reach out,” said Mayor Adams.
Residents can also drop off donations for the food pantry at city hall, or mail the food pantry a check to
CARROLLTON FOOD PANTRY, P.O. BOX 265 CARROLLTON, KENTUCKY 41008
He also thanked those who attended the Easter events and listened to the rules letting them go by seamlessly.
The biggest message that Mayor Adams wanted to get across to residents was the message of remaining positive.
“We know it is inconvenient and not fun, but we will make it through this together,” he stated.
Some of the positive things that he mentioned that are going on around the community are the road paving projects in the city that were put on hold last year, the new awnings at the splash park, and the long-awaited boat docks that will be getting installed at point park soon.
The most positive thing that Mayor Adams announced is that in the Three Rivers Health District there have only been seven confirmed cases of coronavirus. Pendleton has four cases, Carroll County has two, and Gallatin County has one.
The side of that which brings more positivity is that the two Carroll County cases both patients are fully recovered making the county have zero active cases.
Mayor Adams wants you to still visit neighbors but do it at a social distance.
“Every night at seven o'clock I want you to go outside on your porch and talk to your neighbors, let them know that you are still alive and that you are still there and still care, “ said Mayor Adams.
As the pandemic continues it also starts to take a toll on our mental state, so it is suggested that residents go for a walk, or a drive to clear your mind. It also helps your mental state to be kind to those who are around you.
“Be kind to each other, we will get through this,” said Mayor Adams.
