OCONTO — The Oconto County Board voted unanimously Thursday to ratify a state of emergency resolution in the wake of what the World Health Organization has described as a pandemic from the novel strain of coronavirus dubbed COVID-19.
County Board Chairman Paul Bednarek had signed the declaration two days earlier on March 17, proclaiming a state of emergency through July 17 enabling the county “to employ and expend all available resources to protect the health, safety and welfare of persons and property in Oconto County.”
