In response to what he called a “skyrocketing” incidence of COVID-19 here, Shawnee County health officer Gianfranco Pezzino announced Thursday afternoon he was temporarily tightening restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of that disease. Pezzino was among five officials from local hospitals and government entities who spoke at a Zoom news conference in which they expressed significant concern about the spread here of COVID-19, which they said is taxing the capacity of local hospitals. “The only solution, the only way out of this crisis, is to reduce community transmission,” Pezzino said. “There is no other way.”
