(KAIR)--The Jefferson County Commission, on Monday, approved a resolution related to COVID-19.
According to the minutes of the meeting, Jefferson County Emergency Services Director James Tweed made the request for the adoption of an Emergency Declaration. He explained that because a federal and state disaster have been declared, the County needed the resolution in order to be eligible for future funding through FEMA and other agencies.
The resolution was approved unanimously, and will be in effect for 30 days.
Tweed also informed the Commission that the County’s ambulance stations and dispatch center are closed to the public and non-essential personnel “due to the risk to the emergency services personnel and the patients they serve.”
