On Tuesday afternoon, July 21, Mansfield Mayor Buddy Black announced that another city employee had tested positive to COVID-19.
Subsequently, all public works employees, including water works and sanitation, must self-quarantine. Black stated that those employees will undergo testing tomorrow, Wednesday, July 22. However, it takes several days for those test results to come in, and employees cannot return to work until that time.
Due to this, and in accordance with CDC guidelines, the city will NOT be able to pickup residential or dumpster trash on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Mayor Black stated that he will continue to update residents on the status of city services.
