There has been a serious uptick in cases of COVID-19 in Christian County, according to Chris-Mont Emergency Management Agency Deputy Director Kevin Schott.

Schott says that Chris-Mont EMA is prepared to receive and distribute any potential COVID-19 vaccine.

Schott is encouraging restaurants to close down indoor dining and obey the new COVID-19 mitigations and that they don’t have the ability to proactively go to the businesses that aren’t obeying them, but any complaint that gets filed does get investigated. 

If a complaint does get filed with the Public Health Department, Schott says that they will give the business every possible opportunity to obey the Tier 3 guidelines.
