The Jefferson County Health Department Board of Trustees has extended the countyâs face mask order.
At the boardâs meeting today (Dec. 21), the trustees voted 3-2 to extend the order until 5 p.m. Jan. 21.
Suzy Davis and James Prater voted against extending the order, and those who voted in favor included chairman Dennis Diehl and board members Tim Pigg and Amber Henry.
The order, which does not include fines or penalties for those who violate it, originally went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 27. It would have ended at 5 p.m. today if the trustees had not extended it.
