Here’s a message from Saline County Health Officer Jason Tiller.
As your elected representatives and professional staff, we have tried to protect our local community by providing the best information on how to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, in some cases these protections have had to take the form of warrants, limitations, closures and quarantines. These measures have naturally been unpopular. While for the most part our community rallied together to do the right difficult thing, we also saw deep division, animosity and, tragically, even threats. At this point, we believe that further restrictions would have more negative than positive consequences.
As the Saline County public health officer, I have no intention of recommending a government-ordered mask warrant, mass assembly restriction, or other mandatory COVID-related protocols. As some communities across the country and in our state embark on this path, I will not do so unless I am totally convinced that we have no other choice to protect public health and safety.
Fortunately, at this time, I believe we have a choice: the individual choice to protect ourselves, our families and our neighbors. Let me be frank, this means that the responsibility to end this pandemic rests with you – the citizens and businesses of our community. Significant change will only come from personal and corporate responsibility.
We will continue to encourage COVID prevention protocols and wholeheartedly support the entities and individuals who follow them.
