From the Office of Council Member Tom Dernoga June 2020


3rd Coronavirus Edition

District 1 Office Update

The District 1 Team is distributing 1,000 meals a day, 5 days a week, serving District 1 residents in need. The food distribution takes place at two locations—James E. Duckworth Regional School in Beltsville and Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School in Laurel—and will continue until the county executive’s stay-at-home order is lifted. In addition, we are expecting Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church to become a county “food hub” distributing groceries. Email CouncilDistrict1@co.pg.md.us for more information about ongoing meal and food options.

Coronavirus Update

As your council member, my number one priority is keeping you informed, especially now during the current public health emergency involving the coronavirus outbreak. COVID-19 causes respiratory illness and can spread from person to person. This continues to be a rapidly evolving situation, and we are working collaboratively in Prince George’s County to inform and protect our communities. For the latest updates, county residents can visit the county health department’s dedicated coronavirus web page: https://tinyurl.com/PGCcoronavirus. If you have any questions or concerns, you can also call the Prince George’s County Health Department coronavirus hotline at (301) 883-6627 to receive updated information.
