Jackson Co reopening plan issued

(KNZA)--Jackson County Health Officer Angie Reith issued a re-opening plan for the county on Wednesday, a day after Governor Kelly gave county officials the authority to determine their own coronavirus restrictions.

Under the order, mass gatherings of more than 30 people are prohibited.

Businesses and recreational facilities may open, provided they maintain at least a 6-foot distance between customers or groups of customers and adhere to the mass gathering limits.

Ball games may not occur at this time and public swimming pools may not open.

Reith said residents should not view the reopening plan as an indication that the threat of COVID-19 is over, and should follow all social distancing, sanitation and personal hygiene practice guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The order took effect Thursday and will remain in place until June 8.

You can view the entire order on the Jackson County Health Department's Facebook page.
