Cabarrus County COVID-19 update: Oct 16
Cabarrus County will open most of its facilities to the public on Monday at 8 a.m. While the buildings are open, the County will continue offering a variety of services through its website, www.cabarruscounty.us/onlineservices.
Buildings opening Monday include the County’s Government Center, Human Services Center, Sheriff’s Administration Building, Board of Elections Office, Veterans Services Office, Cooperative Extension Office and libraries.
The Cabarrus County Senior Center in Concord is only open to registered class and fitness center participants. The Mt. Pleasant location will remain closed to the public.
All LunchPlus locations will continue drive-thru service.
Through NC Executive Order 169, visitors to County facilities are required to wear face coverings at all times and maintain six feet of distance from other individuals. No one exhibiting signs of illness should enter a County facility.
The County has implemented a variety of safety measures for facility visitors, including:
- Partitions around service windows
- Distance markers down hallways where lines are anticipated
- Service appointments
- Notification alerts that allow visitors to wait in their vehicle
- Virtual assistants that greet visitors from a television in the lobby
- Drive-thru and curbside service
County Manager Mike Downs believes it’s important for residents to have service options.
“Cabarrus County is fortunate to have a workforce with vision and skill to keep us moving forward,” said Downs. “Our online services will continue to meet the needs of residents who prefer not to come in. Still, there are residents who can benefit from in-person interactions and on-site resources. We’ve taken protective measures to help the public and our staff safe.”
Residents who have questions are encouraged to contact the department before coming to the facility. For a full list of County departments, visit www.cabarruscounty.us/directory or call the County’s information line at 704-920-2020.
