COVID-19 EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
BY IMPLEMENTING CERTAIN MEASURES WHICH HAVE BEEN DEEMED
NECESSARY TO SLOW THE COMMUNITY SPREAD OF THE VIRUS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COVID-19 DISEASE
WHEREAS, the City of Aberdeen has the authority pursuant to SDCL §§ 9-29-1
and 9-32-1 to adopt ordinances for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, and
general welfare of the community, and to do what may be necessary or expedient for the
promotion of health or the suppression of disease; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, pursuant to Aberdeen City Charter, Sec. 2.14, may
adopt an emergency ordinance affecting life, health, property, or the public peace by an
affirmative vote of at least sixty percent of the members present, which ordinance shall
automatically stand repealed as of the 61st day following the date on which it was
adopted; and
WHEREAS, an outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which is caused by the novel
coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (the “virus”), has been confirmed in more than 100 countries,
including the United States; and
WHEREAS, COVID-19 is a severe respiratory disease caused by the virus
transmitted by person-to-person contact, or by contact with surfaces contaminated by the
virus. In some cases, especially among older adults and persons with serious underlying
health conditions, virus infection can result in serious illness requiring hospitalization,
admission to an intensive care unit, and death; and
WHEREAS, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services have declared the outbreak of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease a
public health emergency; and
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national
emergency in response to the global pandemic of COVID-19; and
Page 1 of 4
Ordinance No. 20-03-04
03/26/2020 Page 33 of 42
WHEREAS, on the same day, Governor Kristi Noem issued Executive Order
2020-04 declaring a State of Emergency in State of South Dakota due to the COVID-19
pandemic; and
WHEREAS, cases of infection from the virus causing the COVID-19 disease
have been confirmed in the State of South Dakota, including confirmed cases in Brown
County, and cases of community spread are reasonably suspected to exist; and
WHEREAS, the CDC and health experts have concluded that social distancing is
necessary to slow the spread of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease; and
WHEREAS, social distancing is a method of slowing down or stopping the
spread of a contagious disease by reducing the probability of contact between infected
persons and those not infected in order to minimize disease transmission; and
WHEREAS, the CDC issued guidance to state and local governments and all
citizens recommending social distancing steps to prevent community spread and guard
against the COVID-19 outbreak; and
WHEREAS, many states and communities across the country implemented the
CDC recommendations by ordering the closure of bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms,
and other indoor and outdoor venues where people congregate until the public health
emergency is over; and
WHEREAS, many Aberdeen residents, healthcare organizations, businesses, and
religious organizations voluntarily instituted social distancing measures recommended by
the CDC but social distancing is not being practiced by all persons within the City; and
WHEREAS, the failure to successfully implement social distancing will likely
result in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to overwhelm the
capacity of the City’s health care providers; and
WHEREAS, it is important that control measures be taken to reduce or slow the
spread of the virus in order to protect the health and safety of the City’s residents,
especially seniors and those with underlying health conditions that make them
particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 disease; and
WHEREAS, consistent with the CDC guidance, Governor Noem issued
Executive Order 2020-08 on March 23, 2020, providing social distancing directives to
every South Dakotan, all employers, any enclosed retail business that promotes social
gatherings, all healthcare organizations, and all local and municipal governments; and
