The Marshall County Commissioners extended the Public Health Disaster Declaration for another week.
It states that Marshall County has 1,490 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 28 deaths as a result of the virus.
The declaration directs public office holders and employees to put in place emergency laws, regulations and directives. Residents are being asked to “comply with necessary emergency measures, to cooperate with public officials and disaster service forces in executing emergency operation plans, and to obey and comply with the lawful direction of properly identified officers.”
Also in the order, the Marshall County Commissioners may make, amend and rescind orders, rules and regulations necessary for emergency purposes.
The declaration is in effect until November 3, and it may be extended if the commissioners choose to do so at that time.
