County extends indoor mask mandate to November 22nd

11/4/2021

 
     The Jackson County Legislature voted  November 1st to extend the indoor mask mandate until November 22nd, with five voting for the extension, two members absent, and members Dan Tarwater III and Jeanie Lauer voting against the resolution.
     In a release, County Executive Frank White, Jr., stated,
     “Over the past several weeks we have made significant progress in reducing the spread of coronavirus by wearing masks. However, we have not yet reached the CDC threshold that would no longer categorize our community as a high or substantial area of virus transmission. Thanks to the community’s continued sacrifice and resilience, we are very close to where we need to be. But until then, it is important for everyone to keep wearing their masks in public indoor places to provide the most protection for our children, who will soon have the opportunity to get vaccinated.”
      White continued, “From the beginning, I have said I will trust and follow the science, as well as the CDC and health officials’ recommendations to determine how we move forward safely. These decisions have never been easy for me or the County Legislature and today, a majority of the members did what they believe is in the best interest of our community’s well-being. We will continue to analyze the data and provide the Legislature with all information necessary to ensure we can make informed, life-saving decisions together.”
