Lastly, he shared a sad memo reporting the first loss in <br /> the community due to COVID-19. <br /> The board discussed last weeks meeting which was their first meeting held completely <br /> remotely on Zoom. Ms. Landry thought it went smoothly and her only comment was they <br /> should be reading the names and addresses of the people who send In emails for public <br /> comment. Mr. Bacci and Ms. Alvarado agreed with Ms. Landry. Ms. Herrick agreed as well <br /> and noted her appreciation for being able to meet this way during the current situation. <br /> Mr. LeLacheur noted he was trying to collect feedback from other communities on how they <br /> are proceeding with meetings and in what fashion; however, he has not gotten a lot of <br /> comments back yet. <br /> Board of Health member Kevin Sexton joined the board this evening to give the BOH <br /> update. He wanted to start off by saying we will get thru this and we will get thru this <br /> together. Town staff has been amazing during this time and they are working very hard. <br /> The board of health wants to move into a more of an education standpoint for the <br /> community going forward. He reported Reading did have their first death. There are 53 <br /> cases in town currently however 8 cases have come off due to recovery. The health <br /> department in town is working hard currently at contact tracing. That is a huge priority right <br /> now. Two nurses are being trained in MAVEN right now as well as Health Agent Laura <br /> Vlasuk. MAVEN is a tool for nurses however so even though Ms. Vlasuk is getting trained <br /> using the program, she will not be able to do/see as much as the nurses will be able too. <br /> Page I 1 <br />
