Coronavirus: Town Of Davidson Announces List Of Cancellations

DAVIDSON, NC — Following new guidance from Mecklenburg County Public Health to cancel events that draw 50 or more people, the Town of Davidson has cancelled a number of upcoming events and meetings as a precautionary measure, it announced.

The move comes as the number of presumptive positive cases of the new coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, increase in the Charlotte metro region and around the state.

Based on the new recommendations, the Town of Davidson said it is encouraging staff who can do so to work from home. The town’s “Civics 101” class will also be suspended until further notice, it said.
