A local state of emergency has been declared for Gwinnett County through mid-April.
Gwinnett Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash issued the declaration shortly before the commission’s 10 a.m. work session Tuesday. The move authorizes the county to marshal its resources to help the county’s residents make it through the outbreak of the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 as safely as possible.
