There’s been a significant drop in the number of hospitalizations and deaths over the past week.
“I’m feeling like we’re getting it under control,” Kathy Moore, public health director for Muskegon County, told MLive.
The county had seen weeks of hospitalizations numbering at least 40 and those on ventilators averaging nearly 20. But on Thursday, Jan. 28, Mercy Health reported 21 hospitalized COVID patients, six of them on ventilators.
“THAT Rossland City Council make the following formal appeals:
“1. THAT the City of Rossland request Local Tourism Operators to follow and recognize the current PHO orders and adopt a “locals only” policy.
“2. THAT a “locals only” message is displayed as a landing page for all online resources, including Tourism Rossland, and that the City of Rossland alter their messaging on community message boards to reflect the same.
“3. THAT items 1 and 2 be in effect until the PHO order to limit non-essential travel is rescinded.
“4. THAT the City of Rossland send a letter to our local MLA outlining our concerns (cc’d to Dr. Henry, Hon. Min. Adrian Dix, Hon. Min. Melanie Mark, and Hon. Min. Josie Osbourne) regarding lax enforcement on inter-provincial and inter-community travel.”
Muskegon County Public Health aware Toast N Jams serving customers indoors
Toast N Jams owner Mark Boertman says he resumed indoor dining so he didn t have to throw out supplies ordered before state s indoor dining ban extension. Author: Jon Mills Updated: 3:56 PM EST January 20, 2021
When Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Jan. 13 Michigan restaurants would not be permitted to resume offering indoor dining on Jan. 15 Toast N Jams owner Mark Boertman was left in a difficult position.
Boertman already made preparations for his restaurant to ramp up from take out only to dine in service. Those plans included ordering the extra supplies needed to serve what he was expecting to be a rush of customers.
Shortly thereafter, Granstrom called the meeting to recess while asking the City Clerk to call the RCMP to remove Charlton from Chambers. During the 45 minute recess before the RCMP showed up, Charlton pulled out a book to pass the time while members of the media gallery, as well as other councillors, exchanged unimpressed looks related to the delay.
Councilor Charlton has not answered calls or e-mails from the Telegraph since the incident to get his reaction and side of the story. In that lack of clarification, the actual memo dated February 9th is a mystery to City CAO Victor Kumar. In searching back through his documents the only potential memo he notes sending to council on the 9th was one regarding the City Parcel Tax Roll committee.
