County residents are asked to continue using virtual county government services when possible. Some facilities will begin phased openings based on their programs in the next few weeks.

The county plans to offer a modified summer program for rising first through sixth grade children to address child care needs of working parents. The program will be held from July 13 to Aug. 7 at 18 sites across the county, including seven community centers and 11 schools. Additional information will be announced.
