(KMZA)--Public access to the Nemaha County Courthouse and all other county departments is being limited as a preventive measure to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
The Nemaha County Commission took the action during a special meeting Thursday afternoon after conferring with County Health Services Administrator Jane Sunderland.
Residents are urged to conduct county business by phone, online or mail.
According to a press release from the county, all doors of the Nemaha County Courthouse will be locked.
Individuals wishing to schedule an appointment with a county office shall contact the office by telephone. Appointments will only be scheduled when it is not possible to transact business by telephone, online or by mail, and the nature of the business is time sensitive.
The release says those who desire to deliver documents to any county office may do so by utilizing the drop boxes located inside the south doors of the Nemaha County Courthouse.
The provisions, which took effect as of 8 a.m. March 20th will remain in effect until modified or rescinded by the Commissioners.
