City Efforts to Slow COVID-19
City of Fallon Remains Open for Business with Precautionary Measures For the safety of all residents and employees, The City of Fallon enacts preventative measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 From a statement released by the City of Fallon -- The City of Fallon announced today that City Hall remains open for business, but with a focus on reduced in-person interactions in order to help mitigate the possible spread of COVID-19. In response to the CDC’s guidelines and out of an abundance of caution, The City of Fallon is encouraging all customers to make utility payments by phone, online via Fallonnevada.gov/residents/utilities or use the four (4) utility payment dropbox locations throughout the city. Additionally, citizens and businesses are encouraged to call City Hall rather than visit, as all phones will be staffed during normal business hours, and many tasks can be accomplished without a visit to City Hall. City Hall’s hours and addresses for each utility payment dropbox location can be found below:
  • City Hall Hours ○ M-F from 8 am - 5 pm
  • Utility Payment Dropbox locations:
  • City of Fallon, Parking Lot, South Carson Street
  • Stillwater Plaza, Parking Lot, 2105 West Williams Avenue
  • CC Communications, Parking Lot, 1750 West Williams Avenue
  • CC Communications, Parking Lot, 879 South Maine Street
As a precautionary measure, The City of Fallon will close the Convention Center, City-County Gym, Old Post Office and Oats Park Gym. All of the City’s outdoor parks will remain open, but The City of Fallon encourages everyone to follow CDC guidelines, including limiting gatherings of up to 50 people or less and to follow social distancing protocols. The City’s Transfer Station also will remain open seven days a week from 8:30 am to 4 pm. As an additional precautionary measure, the Fallon Police Department will discontinue fingerprinting service until further notice.       Support local, independent news – contribute to The Fallon Post, your non-profit (501c3) online news source for all things Fallon.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
