In an effort to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and create social distancing, effective Tuesday, March 17, all Vernon County buildings were closed to the public.
Starting at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 18, a number of Vernon County employees will work remotely, consistent with continuity of operations plans that have been developed.
The plans were recently updated as coronavirus emerged as a global pandemic. Countywide, wherever possible, a number of county employees will have the technical capability to work outside of an office setting and, effective Tuesday, began to reduce face-to-face contact.
There will also be county staff present and working in the county buildings. Vernon County officials are encouraging people to conduct business with county departments via phone and email when possible. If you need to meet with a county department, you are asked to call ahead and make an appointment with that department.
