On this week's Statewide, a Decatur newspaper tells the view from within a senior living facility that has seen dozens of COVID-19 cases and several deaths.
College journalists have left campuses, but they are still providing the student's perspective and publishing online. Also, not everyone who gets sick with COVID-19 winds up in the hospital. Many are getting help from health care workers while they recover at home.
Those stories and more on the latest episode of Statewide.
Our lineup:
* Kate McGee of WBEZ finds out how the coronavirus has impacted first generation students deciding where to attend college in the fall.
* Bill Wheelhouse examines changes being made in certain counties regarding property taxes this year.
* Olivia Mitchell reports on pandemic health workers helping patients recover at home.
