County Board Chairman Jeff Holst of Hager City said the proposal would make county codes consistent in their wording with state statutes, making it clear that the county health officer has the authority to issue citations when residents fail to comply with a county health order. 

If the measure is approved, the health officer still would answer to the Board of Health and the County Board, Holst said. “ 

It’s not the intention of Pierce County to shut down the county,” he said. “We don’t have the cases of COVID-19 like some other counties to do that.”

Pierce County's rate of positive cases per 100,000 people is 382.2, which puts it well below the state average of 883.4.  On the other h and, the county doubled its number of confirmed cases in July.
