This week, we hear from a woman who questioned the need to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Then, she got sick. What she says now.
We'll also talk with some contact tracers about the difficulty in doing that job over the past year.
And, the National Weather Service is launching a new weather alert category.
Those stories and more on Statewide.
