This week we hear an update on COVID-19 in Yuma County from County Health Director Diana Gomez. Following a period of substantial to high transmission the county has reached a new milestone.

Also, the Historic Coronado Motor Hotel has been a mainstay in Yuma in some form for a hundred years. We listen to a StoryCorpsconversation from 2019 about how the hotel became what it is today.
