Starting Thursday, July 1, Otter Tail County will no longer be a state of emergency.
It s been more than 15 months since the county declared a state of emergency on March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was one of the first Minnesota counties to do so.
The declaration allowed the county administrator to take steps to limit the spread of the disease, which has killed 84 county residents. Where possible, county employees began working from home, meetings were conducted virtually and the county required masks, hand sanitizing and social distancing.
