(WHEC) — One of the Finger Lakes' leading medical figures in the fight against coronavirus says Monroe County is making hopeful progress toward getting kids back into school, but still has work to do. On Monday, the county’s Public Health Commissioner Michael Mendoza spoke to members of the county legislature as they asked when students can return to in–person learning. "If you look at the guidelines closely, we're actually not that far from reopening,” he told an online meeting of the County’s Recreation & Education and Human Services Committees. Mendoza delivered legislators a message of promise and months-worth of lessons learned.
