DeWitt/Piatt Bi-County Health Department Concerned About Local Governments' Plans to Defy Governor's Orders

We may not all agree on Governor JB Pritzker's stay at home order that is set to last through the end of the month, but a central Illinois public health official is concerned about local governments' plans to open their communities' on their own volition.

 

Executive Director of the DeWitt/Piatt Bi-County Health Department, Dave Remmert continues to ask for patience from the public. He says these communities doing these things put a lot of their enforcement officials at risk.

 

 

Remmert continues to caution against residents acting in fear of the disease. He hopes the public will make decisions based on rational and data and not from what media outlets or social media is telling us.

 

 

Remmert says a lot of posts on social media are based on fear and often lack the entirety of the facts available.
