A member of the Fayetteville City Council who tested positive for COVID-19 attended a meeting on Feb. 5 with city and federal officials.
A statement released by the city Friday would not identify the member, saying it would violate a federal law dealing with the privacy of health information.
Mayor Mitch Colvin said at a news conference Feb. 5 that he, some council members and others met informally that day with Dion Lyons, a conciliation specialist with the federal Department of Justice.
The city’s statement said everyone who was in contact with the council member who tested positive for COVID-19 has been notified.
