BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – To help keep the community safe during the pandemic, Med Center Health is canceling the January 2021 Health & Wellness Expo.

At this time, there are no plans to reschedule the Expo in 2021.

Med Center Health plans to resume hosting the Health & Wellness Expo in 2022.

Every year, the Expo attracts hundreds of people to take advantage of free health screenings and information from local health providers. Med Center Health’s Community Wellness offers many screenings throughout the year. Learn more by calling 270-745-0942.

A spokesperson with the Department of Health said the state’s school dashboard will be updated weekly.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It’s basic math. Some of the numbers on individual school district sites don’t match the numbers on the Florida Department of Health’s latest report showing the number of COVID-19 cases in Florida schools.

In an interview with 10 Tampa Bay, Andrew Spar, the President of the Florida Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the state said, “We are not sure the data is accurate. First of all, it starts with September 6th when we have some school districts that started on August 10th.”
