The term coronavirus defines a “family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). The novel coronavirus [most] recently discovered has been named SARS-CoV-2 and it causes COVID-19.” Coronaviruses are not the flu.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. —Walla Walla is one of 22 cities across the United States to receive Coronavirus-3 (CV-3) Reallocation Funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development

The city has accepted more than $81,000 in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act grant funding to its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The money will be given to Blue Mountain Action Council to support its emergency subsistence payment program.
