RAPID CITY, S.D. – During his weekly press briefing Wednesday, Rapid City Mayor Steve Allender says over 12-hundred residents responded to a survey with 33 percent saying they are moderately worried about COVID-19 and almost 7 percent saying they are not worried at all.
One of the biggest challenges people are facing is general anxiety over COVID-19.
But with the impacts of the virus, Allender is proposing to use up to two million dollars in the reserve fund.
Allender says it’s particularly important to focus on mental health right now, as May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
