Sioux Falls, SD – During a special meeting today (March 27), the Minnehaha County Commission approved a resolution to help prevent further community spread of COVID-19. Resolution language encourages businesses to modify operations to ensure no more than ten patrons are on the premises for on-site use of services or consumption of goods at any given time. Businesses are encouraged to utilize business models that include takeout, delivery, drive-thru, curbside service, offsite service, and do not involve public gatherings. The resolution applies to locations outside of incorporated municipalities.
“The community in the midst of unusual and stressful circumstances as the number of Coronavirus diagnoses increase. The County Commission continues to act in its role to preserve public peace, health, and safety of county residents. This resolution is the next important step we can take as a community to prevent further spread of COVID-19 illnesses,” said Commission Chair Jean Bender.
The resolution was unanimously approved this afternoon during a special meeting of the County Commission. The resolution was the only item on the agenda.
