Milledgeville-Baldwin Emergency Management Sends Urgent Message About COVID-19

Saturday evening the Milledgeville-Baldwin County Emergency Agency send out this message about area’s COVID-19 situation.

People signed up for Baldwin County and Milledgeville’s CodeRED system received the message via the app, email, phone call and text message.

EMA Director Wayne Johnson explains why the message was sent.

“By now I’m sure most people are tired of hearing about COVID, maybe a bit complacent. So we decided to use CodeRED just as another means of getting the message out to the citizens. In hopes of saving some lives and providing relief for Navicent Baldwin.”

Last week, Lake Country Today did a story on the challenges at Navicent Baldwin as they deal with a surge of COVID-19 and non-COVID cases.

On Friday, Navicent Health Baldwin posted this social media about what they are continuing to deal with.

As Dr. Rebecca Gay, Medical Director of our emergency center reminds, you can help slow community spread of COVID-19 by avoiding large gatherings, practicing social distancing, wearing a mask in public and washing your hands frequently! pic.twitter.com/jiB8yk4DVT
