New Pottawatomie County Health Order will allow increase in mass gatherings

Pottawatomie County officials have finalized Health Order Number 6, which will become effective on Wednesday, June 10th. It will replace an existing one which is due to expire at that time.

The only difference between the two orders is that the mass gathering limit will be increased from 50 up to 100 people. Large indoor and outdoor venues and activities remain closed. If no significant changes occur before then Health Order Number Six will extend through Wednesday, June 17th and be allowed to expire afterwards.

Provided no changes are necessary that would be the phase out period with no further health orders, and no further restrictions or limitations.

Safe practices such as social distancing, frequent hand washing and wearing of masks when social distancing cannot be maintained.

Health Order Number 6 was finalized during a meeting of the Pottawatomie Board of Health, the Health Officer and members of the Emergency Operations Center.
