The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted April 1 to approve a “safer at home” ordinance, imposing more restrictions on activities within the county and repealing the ordinance that was passed March 27.
The board met via teleconference for the third time in 10 days. All four of the county’s mayors issued statements supporting the action, which was scheduled to take effect April 2 at 12:01 a.m. and remain in force until Tuesday, April 21. The ordinance directs people living within the limits of unincorporated Henry County to stay at home, and to reasonably maintain at least six feet from any person when outside of their residence, at all times.
People may leave home “only for essential activities, essential governmental functions and to operate essential businesses,” according to officials.
