Johnson County government to require face masks in facilities based on CDC guidance

Johnson County, Iowa – Based on recommendations from the Johnson County Public Health Department (JCPH), the Johnson County Board of Supervisors voted on Thursday, Aug. 12, 2021, to require all visitors and Johnson County employees to wear face coverings in all Johnson County government buildings, regardless of vaccination status. The face coverings must cover both nose and mouth.

Weather permitting, 120th Street NW between Echo Ave NW and Falcon Ave NW will be closed for several hours beginning at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22, so County crews can extend a box culvert.

Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
