When the City of Charleston issued the stay-at-home order a few weeks ago, the primary goal was to “flatten the curve” so as to not overwhelm our hospital capacity and to greatly reduce the spread of contagion. I have been encouraged by the most recent numbers which is a testament to our citizens staying smart, staying distanced, and listening to medical experts. The plan to “flatten the curve” has and is continuing to work and we must be vigilant to keep Charleston from becoming a “hotspot”.<\/p>\n

As we continue to flatten the curve, it is time to ready our strategic reopening to avoid any resurgence or spikes of the virus. I view this challenge in three ways:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Protecting the lives and wellness of our citizens
\n\u2022 Keeping our hospitals from being overwhelmed
\n\u2022 Maintaining economic activity and core government services until a vaccine or treatment becomes available<\/p>\n

Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n
