Seating will be disinfected between visits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coronavirus pandemic has been ever-evolving and the care and safety of our employees and the people we serve must come first,\u201d said Shannon Davison, Deputy Warden of Transitional Facilities. \u201cAs we continue to mitigate the coronavirus, we recognize that visitation is vitally important to our residents and their families as it provides an opportunity for human connection and strengthens family bonds. As we move forward with visitation opportunities, we will assess risk utilizing a phased approach to ensure the safety of our employees, residents, visitors, and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All visitors and residents from MRCC and youth from YCC will be issued masks; visitors will have their temperature taken and asked screening form questions. Anyone who has a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or greater or who answers yes to any of the questions on the screening questionnaire will not be permitted. Families wishing to visit at YCC may contact the Juvenile Correctional Institute Case Manager for the designated Cottage of whom they wish to visit.

(AP) \u2014 A new survey of business leaders released Wednesday suggests the economy has begun to recover as businesses reopened in the past month in nine Midwest and Plains states. But Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said the region&#8217;s economy remains weaker than before the coronavirus outbreak began. And business leaders expect the economy to continue improving over the next six months. The region&#8217;s overall index jumped into positive territory at 50.3 in June from May&#8217;s 43.5. Any score above 50 suggests growth, while scores below 50 suggest decline.

The U.S. government announced this week that it had an agreement with Gilead Sciences to make the bulk of their production of remdesivir available to Americans for the next three months. A senior lecturer at the University of Sussex called the U.S. agreement \u201cdisappointing news.&#8221; Until now, the California-based Gilead had donated treatment courses to the U.S. and other countries. That ended Tuesday and Gilead has set the price for the drug going forward. Gilead is allowing generic makers to supply the drug to poor or middle-income countries.<\/p>\n<p>(AP) Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech are reporting encouraging signs from its very early testing of a possible COVID-19 vaccine. Preliminary results released Wednesday from 45 volunteers showed hoped-for immune reactions in two of the tested doses. Side effects were typical for vaccines, mostly injection-site pain and fever. The companies are testing four somewhat similar vaccine candidates. They aim to move the most promising shot into large-scale studies later this summer. About 15 potential COVID-19 vaccines are in various stages of human testing around the world, with no guarantee any will pan out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Public health experts say there is little evidence that the protests that erupted after George Floyd\u2019s death caused a significant increase in coronavirus infections. If the protests had driven an explosion in cases, experts say, the jumps would have started to become apparent within two weeks \u2014 and perhaps as early as five days. But that didn\u2019t happen in many cities with the largest protests. The Associated Press reviewed trends in daily reported cases in 22 U.S. cities with protests. It found post-protest increases in several cities, but experts say other factors were more likely the main drivers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Police in Seattle have cleared out protesters and torn down their camping sites in the city&#8217;s so-called occupied protest zone after the mayor ordered it cleared. Officers used their bicycles Wednesday morning to herd dozens of protesters so the officers could carry out the order imposed after two fatal shootings at the site in less than two weeks. Seattle police say 32 people were arrested at the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone. The protesters dispersed several hours after police launched their operation at 5 a.m. The zone was set up following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Thousands of Black activists from across the U.S. will hold a virtual convention at the end of the summer to produce a new political agenda that builds on the protests that followed George Floyd\u2019s death. Organizers of the gathering shared their plans with The Associated Press on Wednesday ahead of an official announcement. The 2020 Black National Convention will take place Aug. 28 via a live broadcast. It will feature a series of conversations, performances and other events meant to develop a set of demands before the November election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) \u2014 A federal control board that oversees Puerto Rico\u2019s finances has approved a new budget that largely suspends austerity measures and government cuts for one year as the U.S. territory struggles to recover from hurricanes, earthquakes and the pandemic. The $10 billion budget was approved Wednesday after the board rejected a different one that Gov. Wanda V\u00e1zquez recently submitted and contained numerous incentives and spending increases that critics say were unrealistic. Puerto Rico\u2019s 2021 consolidated fiscal year budget is 10% bigger than last year\u2019s, mainly because it anticipates a 17% increase in federal funds. The majority of spending targets health care, education and government pension payments. Areas including housing and agriculture will see cuts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; TONIGHT\u2026Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 60s.
