By now, you've all heard about the Solar Eclipse that will occur on April 8th, and Ohio is in the path of the total eclipse.
Knox County will experience the solar eclipse, and the county EMA has been preparing for this with other local and regional officials. Our county's population could greatly increase that day and, most likely, during the several days before that date.
At this time, all scheduled medical procedures will remain as scheduled.

Traffic around the Knox County area will be impacted by those wishing to have a nice view of the eclipse. Please plan accordingly and travel safely and in advance to avoid traffic congestion for the primary needs of you and your family. All county K-12 schools are closed for the day on April 8th.
