The Nome Nugget
IN RESPONSE TO PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS OVER THE COVID 19 Virus: The Nome Common Council decided in an emergency meeting today to close city facilities: Old St. Joe's, Rec Center, Richard Foster Building (including Museum and Library), the swimming pool, Nome Public Schools for afterschool activities, the Visitor Center and to limit access to the Mini Convention Center as staff sees fit. This means: there won't be the Lonnie O'Connor Basketball Tournament, Iditarod banquet and Musher's Meet and Greet is postponed; Iditarod Arts and Crafts Fair is canceled. Council member Brown said the public is encouraged to NOT COME to Nome. Iditarod dog teams will still arrive and will be welcomed to Nome. #Iditarod,#COVID-19, #Nome, #CityofNome, #LonnieO'ConnorBasketballTournament
