The Local State of Emergency in Berrien County has been extended until April 30.

Originally signed on March 26, the extension will allow funding and resources to continue to be provided at the county level.

The action allows the Berrien County Emergency Operation Center to continue to operate and support the efforts of the Berrien County Health Department and Spectrum Health Lakeland to continue to provide vital resources already in place to deal with the pandemic.

It does not change or affect any of the measures already in place that are set forth in Governor Whitmer’s current executive orders.
