Why isn’t she wearing a mask?
“I said that I’m part of the government, but I will not be part of the government overreach,” Copenhaver said.
The COVID-19 positivity rate in Fountain County is 18%, the highest in the state. The drive-thru lanes for COVID-19 testing in Attica at the Fountain and Warren County Health Department were packed Tuesday afternoon.
He also said the department has received complaints about the Fountain County clerk not following the governor’s mask mandate.
