The Yankton COVID-19 Task Force was created to have a unified approach to minimizing the effects of the Coronavirus in our area. The task force consists of medical personnel, city and county representatives, school officials, along with other key community entities. It is lead by Yankton County Emergency Management and focuses on prepping Yankton's medical facilities for a rise in cases and informing the public how to slow the spread and "flatten the curve".
