Friday, Boone County joined, Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties in declaring what amounted to a regional state of emergency to further prepare and respond to COVID-19.
The four judges/executive declared the States of Emergency in order to activate the individual County Emergency Operations Plans and to encourage cooperation between all levels of government and public health officials to ensure a proactive and coordinated response to the coronavirus.
The decision to restrict face-to-face interaction between the public and county staff is another step in working to limit the spread of COVID-19.
