The proposed resolution, to be presented by Emmet County Commissioner Ginop, was outlined in Harbor Light on March 29, and can be found in the BOH Meeting packet at https://www.nwhealth.org/pubs/April%202023%20BOH%20Packet.pdf
The Board of Health meeting will be held on TUESDAY, APRIL 4 at 10 AM at the SHIRLEY ROLOFF CENTER, 13513 Division Ave., Charlevoix.
Please READ the resolution, and share your thoughts with your representatives on the Board of Health. The negative outcomes listed in the proposal are due to the pandemic itself, not to the response by the Health Department, which saved lives. This resolution is suggesting that county commissioners know better than epidemiology professionals how to limit the spread of an infectious disease, and would remove authority from the experts in the field.
