Golden reminded residents that although the county-wide ban has been lifted in roughly half of the towns, local municipal curfews may continue to remain in effect.

In towns where the county-wide curfew remains in effect, only essential personnel may be outside and on the roads from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. This includes emergency service personnel and those who are responsible for critical services within the county.
