Basin PBS to host town hall on surge

Basin PBS will be hosting a town hall called Staying Safe During the COVID Surge in West Texas at 7 p.m. Aug. 18 from the Anwar Family studio at Basin PBS.

Staying Safe During the COVID Surge in West Texas will be presented in partnership with NewsWest 9 and made possible with support from the Abell-Hanger Foundation.

The program will feature healthcare workers and hospital administrators from Odessa and Midland. They will be providing an updated look at the COVID/Delta situation in the Permian Basin, our hospitals, and ways we can all work together to stay safe and healthy, a news release said.

Basin PBS will not host a live studio audience and town-hall guests will be socially distanced.

The program will be LIVE and can be seen on Basin PBS or via live stream on the Basin PBS Facebook page.

Viewers can submit questions before or during Wednesday’s program via the Basin PBS Facebook page.
