Jefferson County Health Department Board of Trustees voted today in a special board meeting to extend the existing mask order in Jefferson County. This extension lasts through 5PM on February 25, 2021. The Board voted in favor of the extension with 3 board members voting yes, one voting no, and one being absent.
“We feel the mask order has had a positive impact in the community,” states Jefferson County Health Department Director, Kelley Vollmar. “We are seeing our positivity rate below 20% for the first time in 10 weeks. It is important to continue prevention strategies, such as the mask order, until a majority of our population has been vaccinated.”
