(KAIR)--Jefferson County Health Officer Crystal VanHoutan announced Wednesday that Jefferson County is transitioning from emergency response to a new risk management phase as the Governor’s office returns principal oversight of COVID-19 crisis to the counties.
According to a news release, Jefferson County Health Officials will not impose additional limits, based on the current virus conditions in the county. The County will strongly recommend that Jefferson County residents and businesses continue following the guidance of the state's Ad Astra plan.
Effective Wednesday, Jefferson County Health Officials recommend moving the county to Phase 3 of the Ad Astra plan, sooner than the Governor's recommended June 8 time frame.
The new recommendation will allow mass gatherings of 45 people.
