Worth County Passes Social Distancing Order

Notice

An order has been issued with penalties in Worth County for Emergency Management. 

Citizens are ordered to not have gatherings of over 10 people and keep at least 6-feet away from each other.   Other rules include the closing of schools, and dine-in restaurants, with an order to not visit nursing homes. Failure to comply could find you arrested and fined $500, or up to three months in jail.  The Worth County Sheriff's Office has been ordered to enforce this ordinance. The ordinance is set to expire on May 4th at 12:01 am.

As conditions change, the Commission may have to upgrade to a Shelter in Place Ordinance for the health and welfare of the county residents.
