Friends and family of Jacksonville City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman are asking for prayers as she battles COVID-19.
We learned through our news partner News4Jax on Monday that she is hospitalized in the ICU. It is not clear how she contracted the virus. This, as cases continue to rise in Northeast Florida and around the state.
For the latest on the cornavirus situation in Jacksonville we spoke with Michelle Aquino. She is a hospitalist at Baptist Health.
