COVID-19 News!

On March 17, 2020, Judge Bob Cantrell took the necessary steps to get the ball rolling for emergency assistance in Poinsett County.  Judge Cantrell met with Megan New, the Coordinator for the Office of Emergency Management, and signed the Disaster Emergency Proclamation for Poinsett County.  This will allow us to apply for supplies if needed.  

Poinsett County discovered on March 19th that we had at least 1 positive case of COVID-19.   We have now taken precautions by restricting access to county offices in the Courthouse and the Courthouse Annex.    Signs are posted on the doors with our County office phone numbers instructing citizens to call the office they need.   We need people to do as much as possible by phone, mail, email or online.  Offices will be meeting with the public by appointment only and only one person will be authorized to enter at a time.

We want to assure citizens that we are available.  We are not closed.  We are taking these measures to make sure we all stay safe and limit the spread of this virus.  If you need to contact us, there are many options available that you can do from home.  We are committed to working together to get through this.
