The Iredell County Health Department has made the decision to postpone the Thyroid Cancer & Structural Coal Ash Facilities Community Meeting scheduled for March 19.
In a press release, the ICHD stated that "The health and safety of our participants, speakers, staff, and community are our top priorities."
"Due to mass gathering and large community events recommendations by the NC Department of Health and Human Services and speaker travel restrictions related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), many of our experts and key presenters will be unable to attend. The speakers expressed concern that their presentations would be less effective for such an important subject matter on a virtual platform. We are very appreciative of the community’s interest in this event. The Community Meeting will be rescheduled when possible based on the COVID-19 activity in North Carolina. Thank you for your patience and understanding. It is our mission to protect the health of Iredell County. Our participants’ questions that were submitted through a survey prior to the meeting will be answered by our experts and made available on our website in the near future. If you signed up for this event through our Eventbrite link, you should have been notified by email the event is now postponed until further notice. Thank you for your patience and understanding. For questions or concerns, please contact the Iredell County Health Department at 704-924-4089."
