NEWCASTLE (WNE) â The Weston County commissioners have approved a variance allowing bars and restaurants to remain open past 10 p.m. to be forwarded to Dr. Mike Jording, the county public health officer. The 10 p.m. closure time was included in Gov. Mark Gordonâs newest set of public health orders, which also included a statewide mask mandate.Â
The motion to approve the variance passed unanimously on Dec. 15 before a visit from Jording. During a later discussion with Jording at the meeting, the doctor said that he needed to review the document before he could provide an opinion.Â
The variance is the newest of a number of requests for variances on public health orders on a county level. Jording has refused to sign all of the requested county wide variances, although he agreed to send them onto Alexia Harrist, the state health officer.Â
