(From the City of Neosho)

After extended discussion on the proposed Ordinance for the City of Neosho to enact strict measures for a Stay at Home Ordinance in response to the COVID-19 Emergency, the Council voted unanimously to NOT enact such an ordinance at this time.

All council members stressed the importance of the public to take all precautions as have been previously stated in both emergency actions by the State & Federal Government to limit gatherings to no more than 10 persons, keep 6' distancing and practice a regimen of hygiene measures and social distancing in effort to flatten the curve of the coronavirus spread.

Council urged the community to continue to be educated on COVID-19 and also wished to thank those for their participation in providing input and concern as it related to the decision of the ordinance.

The next regular session of the Neosho City Council will be Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 7PM at Council Chambers. Public will be advised in advance as to how to view and listen to the proceedings via press release, Facebook and at www.neoshomo.org
