Latino leader In rural Georgia guides community through pandemic with social media

Gyla Gonzalez with Latinos Unidos of Carroll County stays connected with her community through Facebook during the coronavirus pandemic.

Latinos Unidos of Carroll County serves about 2,000 people. The group maintains a small health clinic and organizes activities for the Latino community.

When the coronavirus pandemic hit, the clinic had to shut down as it’s not equipped to handle COVID-19 cases.

Latinos Unidos executive director Gyla Gonzalez found a way to stay connected to her community through Facebook, where she often translates important information into Spanish.
