The governor provided an update on supplies to help fight the spread in the forms of PPE and the upcoming vaccine. She said the state's PPE supply is strong and the vaccine will first go to those on the frontlines in the fight against the virus and people who are most vulnerable to it.
Reynolds said the state is seeing a reduction in the number of hospitalizations and is asking people to do their part in helping stop the spread, especially when it comes to upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations.
