Coffee County buildings to reopen May 4

Effective on Monday, May 4, the Coffee County Commission will begin allowing limited public access to county buildings once again.

Capacity will vary by office as necessary to observe social distancing protocols. Some offices, such as the Absentee Ballots Office, the Board of Registrars and Environmental Services, will only be able to accommodate one person at a time. All persons waiting to enter an office will be required to wait outside of the building and remain six feet apart.

Anyone entering a county building may be subject to a temperature check. All county senior centers will continue to provide meals for pickup at the center and will continue home delivery of meals. There will be no public access into senior centers.

All citizens are encouraged to continue to conduct transactions by mail, online or over the phone. If it is necessary to come to a county office, please limit any visits only to those persons essential to conduct a transaction and respect social distancing guidelines by standing at least six feet apart.

The Coffee County Commission encourages everyone to continue to follow guidance from health officials to protect themselves and to help minimize the impact of the virus.
