Tuesday, Feb. 9, Good Morning Truckee will present a series of quick COVID updates and information from Tahoe Forest Hospital, Sierra Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD). Additionally, there will be a presentation from Pilots N Paws animal rescue transportation program and an update from the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe.

The first half of the program will provide a quick update on several COVID topics including: Harry Weis, CEO Tahoe Forest Health System providing an update on the COVID-19 vaccine, status of delivery, where and how to receive the vaccine; Kristin York, Vice President of Business Innovation for SBDC on round 2 of the PPP program and additional business resources; Valerie Simpson, TTUSD Executive Director of Education Services on teachers and the virtual classroom setting.

The second half of the program will focus on animals, adoptions, and rescues.
