SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – The news about the Coronavirus is changing day to day and hour to hour. Reports are coming in from all over the region, the state and from the federal government.  We are also receiving many reports from organizations who have been working to offer their support to our region.

Service and utility companies are sending in updates on their status and information about support services. Non-profit agencies are sending in information about what they have to offer and what they need to continue to operate.

Individual cities are sending in their own updates about vital services and their public safety policies.

Messenger Publishing Group staff are doing what we can to provide the most current information from all of these resources on each of our web sites that provide the news for the communities we serve.

You can visit the web site established for this newspaper to get the most current information provided to us from these government agencies, local support offices and your local government. Each web site will also have the national press releases as we receive them.

We are all in this together and together we will outlast the health scare. Please remain diligent in caring for your neighbors and the welfare of others.

To support local businesses you can contact your favorite restaurants online to order food delivered. Many are open for local deliveries and are arranging for delivery service through established delivery companies.

Be aware of local scam artists (criminals) as many bad guys are out there trying to advantage of those in need. Don’t open suspicious emails. Don’t buy anything from people to get you to try a “test kit” for the virus. We will post any notices about scam on our web sites to alert the public.

Thank you for your readership.
