Missoula City-County Health Department now accepting public comment regarding possible adoption of COVID-19 directives issued by Governor Bullock

The Missoula City-County Board of Health, at its Dec. 17 meeting, will consider adopting by rule several or all of the COVID-19 directives issued by Governor Steve Bullock this year. The Board of Health will accept public comment ahead of taking any action.

The Board of Health will consider adopting these directives as a rule because they are set to expire when the Governor leaves office next month. Adopting these directives as a BOH rule will not add additional restrictions. Rather, it will allow for continuity of current COVID-19 mitigation efforts and support safety as COVID-19 cases are expected to intensify as people cluster indoors during the winter.

Written public comment for the Board’s consideration will be accepted through the MissoulaInfo resident feedback portal. For written comments to be presented to the Board by Thursday, Dec. 17, please write to MCCHD before Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. and clearly indicate in your submission if your comment pertains to the BOH’s December convening.

Verbal public comment will also be accepted during the meeting, with time limitations per speaker to be set by the Board Chair. To attend the remote board meeting or offer verbal public comment during the meeting, please follow the access instructions on the following page.
