The Huron County Board of Commissioners voted to extend a local state of emergency lasting until May 25, 2021, unless the board takes further action.
The state of emergency only allows all units of government within Huron County to continue holding their meetings virtually under the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
The office of emergency management will continue to be a liaison and coordinate with state and federal authorities for assistance related to the pandemic.
Tuscola and Sanilac counties have also recently passed their own emergency orders allowing government meetings to continue virtually.

HURON COUNTY The Region VII Area Agency on Aging is the latest organization announcing it is willing to help give COVID-19 vaccines to Huron County residents.
Dr. Ed Canfield, a Sebewaing physician who also serves as the medical director for Region VII, said the agency was asked by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to be a vaccine provider. The agency is working on arrangements where Region VII nurses will assist the health department in its 10-county coverage area in giving vaccinations, particularly to homebound seniors who are unable to get vaccines at a pharmacy, doctor’s office, or the health department.
