Any employees that are expressing symptoms are sent home immediately and instructed to contact the DOH for further guidance. County offices are operating, but with limited staff. We are asking the public to please be patient with the county employees and if possible, that County business be conducted via email, fax, telephone or mail. It is extremely important that we as community work together to mitigate the spread, maintain social distance of at least six (6) feet, limit personal contact and properly wear a face mask while in public. This is the best way to slow the spread of this virus, and allow our schools and more businesses to re-open and stay open.
