Because of a continued surge in COVID-19 cases in the area, a number of Hall County government facilities will be open by appointment only until further notice.
When the county announced the plan to limit access to facilities earlier this month, the plan had been to fully reopen by Tuesday, Jan. 19.; that will not happen.
"We have continued to monitor data from national, state and local health officials and believe continuing to operate in this manner will help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community while allowing us to maintain the delivery of government services to our citizens," said Hall County Administrator Jock Connell in a prepared statement released Friday.
