TOWN OF MIDDLETON–Despite the threat of being infected with the COVID-19 virus falling to the low stage in Dane County, all town meetings will continue to be held via Zoom until at least the April 4 spring election, the Town of Middleton Board decided last week.
Continuing to hold virtual meetings is prudent, said Board Supervisor David Bryce.
“If we can have these meetings without risk of being exposed, I’ll agree with that,” he said, but the country is entering the season when COVID-19 cases have been most numerous.
In urging that meetings remain virtual; Town Chair Cynthia Richson said the newest virus strain is the most antibody resistant to date.
The Park Commission expressed interest in resuming in-person meetings again, said Town Clerk Barbara Roesslein, who added that the latest vaccines aren’t as effective against the new coronavirus variant.
