WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - Local leaders met Wednesday in the Jefferson County legislative chambers to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to COVID-19 response.
County and city officials, hospital administrators, Fort Drum's command team and public health representatives were on hand.
