To the Fairfax County Community,
I have been hearing about a noticeable amount of used gloves, masks, and wipes discarded onto the ground throughout the community. Please remember to dispose of these materials correctly and help us communicate that improper disposal is a public health hazard for your neighbors and our waste collection workers that must clean them up. Another concern is that these items get washed into the waterways and into the Chesapeake Bay.
Also, below you can view a short clip from the Northern Virginia Regional Commission. I was happy to participate in their message about COVID-19 with my partner mayors and chairs from area local governments. I participate in several calls a week with these elected officials and its important we work closely together and think regionally as we tackle the pandemic.
