Mayor Johnson calls for citywide ovation for front-line workers on Thursday

DALLAS -- Mayor Eric Johnson on Tuesday called for a Thursday night citywide ovation for workers on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The mayor wants people to step outside their front doors for about 5 minutes at 7 p.m. Thursday and cheer for health care workers, police officers, firefighters, park rangers, code officers, workers providing essential services, and all others who are helping the City of Dallas respond to the spread of the coronavirus.

"Dallas is working diligently to deal with this pandemic," Mayor Johnson said. "I want to set aside time for our city to show its collective appreciation for people who deal with the stress of working on our behalf while others stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19. We have heroes among us, and they deserve to know they have supporters all around them."

Please cheer respectfully.
