DOYLESTOWN, Pa. - In Bucks County, plans are in place to add a decorative rainbow crosswalk, in Doylestown, in a show of support and safety for the LGBTQ+ community.

Some residents, however, are in strong opposition to the crosswalk."I heard that they were proposing this and I’m like that’s a great idea," business owner James Lamb said.A rainbow will soon illuminate a crosswalk at Printer’s Alley on East State Street in Doylestown."I was not born here.

I actually moved here because it’s an inclusive and supportive area," Lamb continued.The Doylestown Pride Festival committee brought the idea of the crosswalk to borough council earlier in March and Monday, council unanimously approved it.Michael Flanagan is on the pride.

He spoke with FOX 29’s Shawnette Wilson about the crosswalk while out with his husband, Bill. "I didn’t come out until I was 50, because I didn’t feel safe and I think this is just a visual sign to the kids in the community, the adults in the community that this is a safe place."Jona Franklin owns Lilies of the Field up the street from the crosswalk.

Covid task force pushes for greater testing

Epidemiologists recommend enhanced testing of communities in areas with high case counts New Delhi : Amid a surge in covid-19 cases, scientists from India’s National covid-19 Task Force have recommended that the government adopt a strategy of identifying hotspots and clusters and ramp up community-level testing and contact tracing instead of relying solely on testing hospital cases.

At last week’s task force meeting, leading epidemiologists said increase community-based testing in areas with high case counts, emphasizing need to detect clusters and hotspots.
