We have long expected that cases of the coronavirus would be confirmed in Mississippi, which is why I supported supplemental funding that will provide our state agencies with $5.8 million to mitigate the potential spread of the virus and help treat the symptoms of those impacted.

I want to reiterate that the threat to individual Mississippians remains low and that we are working in a united front in Washington and in Mississippi to ensure that any outbreak is met with swift and appropriate actions.

I want to encourage everyone to do their part by taking proper actions to prevent the possible spread of the virus, including hand-washing and avoiding public places when sick.
