The Johnson County Board of Supervisors and Emergency Management Commission has approved the continuation of the Declaration of Public Health Disaster Emergency until Friday, Feb. 19th, or as long as Governor Kim Reynolds’ State Disaster Declaration remains in effect, whichever date is later. Reynolds’ most recent proclamation expires at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6th.
The continuation of the disaster emergency also extends the date of the face covering and mask regulation for all of Johnson County, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors at the Thursday, Aug. 6th, 2020 formal meeting. The resolution requires every person in Johnson County to wear a face covering or mask when in public settings indoors and outdoors when it is not possible to keep six feet away from others. Public settings include, but are not limited to, stores, schools, public transportation, or other public settings that are not one’s place of residence or with people who do not live in the same household. It applies to all areas and municipalities in Johnson County unless a municipality previously issued a face covering/mask order.
