Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--All COVID-19 related restrictions have been lifted in Brown County.
The Brown County Commission took the action Monday on a 2-1 vote after hearing from County Health Officer Chastity Schumann.
She told Commissioners surrounding counties are starting to open and proposed there be no restrictions in the county.
Commissioner Rich Lehmkuhl cast the lone dissenting vote. He said he wanted to see restrictions keep in place for another week, noting the number of positive cases in the county increased Friday from 9 to 13.
County resident Kendra Heinen, who was present at the meeting, encouraged Commissioners to open the county.
Restrictions had been in place since late March to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
Schumann encourages residents to continue to follow simple guidelines such as washing your hands and staying home when sick.
