The St. Joseph Stanton Fire Protection District announced that its annual Pancake Breakfast in August has been canceled.
Originally scheduled to be held on August 8, an
announcement made on Facebook earlier today said the event was scraped due "the continuing uncertainties surrounding COVID 19 (sic)".
"That, along with the uncertainties with the food permit made the decision necessary," the post said. "We may try having one later this year if things get better. If not, we hope to see you next year."
The decision comes after the number of active cases of the virus rose to five in St. Joseph this week. The community gone relatively touched through the pandemic with a total of 12 reported cases.
Nearly a week and half ago, the
City of Champaign confirmed a Champaign firefighter tested positive for the Coronavirus and 12 other firefighters were placed in self-quarantine on June 23.
