<\/p>\n
On March 17, 2020, Valley City Mayor Dave Carlsrud declared a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 health crisis. The Emergency Order was ended, in consideration of a decline in positive cases locally and across the state, and widespread availability of vaccines, along with the end of the school year.<\/p>\n
According to the North Dakota Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities without wearing a mask indoors and outdoors. Individuals who are not vaccinated should continue to follow previous guidelines which include physical distancing and wearing masks.<\/p>\n
A recommendation remains that everyone wears masks when they are in a health care setting, when they are traveling on public transportation, including airplanes, and when they are in a business or employer that chooses to require masks. Also, vaccinated people who have weakened immune systems should consult with their physician to determine the best course of action for them.<\/p>\n
Citizens may resume attendance at all public City meetings, in accordance with these health recommendations, or continue to participate in and\/or watch meetings remotely through Zoom.<\/p>\n
