St. Clair County health officials are asking local elected leaders to formally endorse efforts to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations and other mitigation measures against the virus.
On Monday, city council members in both Port Huron and Marysville unanimously approved resolutions related to the vaccine, as well as mask use in public spaces and limiting gatherings to allow at least six feet between people not in the same household.
And officials said it was anticipated other communities will be asked to take similar action.

A new floral business, Bel Fiori Mercato, has sprouted in Marysville.
The business held a soft opening at 1703 Gratiot Blvd. Thursday and offers plants, bouquets, bunches and more, said owner Gina Nowicki, who lives in Marysville.

Bel Fiori Mercato is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. It offers deliveries, permanent and fresh flowers, and services special events like weddings and funerals.
Nowicki is still working on getting signage and filling the shop space, with hopes to put in a flower bar so people can make their own bouquets as well as buy premade ones. She plans to host a grand opening for the business sometime around Mother’s Day.
