John Orona | Staff Writer With 2020 in the past and a new year upon us, Nevada County leaders outline their focus for 2021, and what they see as the new year’s biggest challenges and opportunities. VACCINE ROLLOUT A plastic bag containing the first COVID-19 vaccinations are brought into a room of Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital in late December for inoculations of various hospital staff. Elias Funez Just as the COVID-19 pandemic monopolized most of 2020, the rollout of a vaccine and the hope of a return to normalcy it brings will largely be the focus of 2021. “Our priority will be to continue to protect the community and rebuild the economy and we’ll be working with our community partners to make sure we have safe and equitable vaccine distribution,” Board of Supervisors Chair Heidi Hall said. “We’re not sure yet what that looks like, but I know staff is working on that and taking direction from what the state is planning and then going from there.”
