Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger is responding to this week's positive COVID-19 case in Chittenden County.

Weinberger says they've opened an emergency operations center at the Burlington Police Department to coordinate a response. He says they are considering similar measures that some governments have done to close schools and work from home.

On Monday, city leaders will be working from home to see how that works. Weinberger says he's being guided by three priorities: slowing the transmission of the virus, continuing essential municipal services, and ensuring the safety and health of city employees.
