Daviess County Health officer, Dr. Holsopple, met with the Daviess County Commissioners yesterday to discuss the upcoming changes announced by Governor Holcomb.
The Statewide mask mandate is set to become a mask advisory on April 6th. Daviess County officials agreed unanimously to implement some county-wide changes.
