Richland Center, WI: Richland County Health and Human Services Director, Tracy Thorsen announced that the Community Services Building and all Health and Human Services operations will reopen to the public starting Monday, July 6th. Thorsen reports that the “agency’s office and lobby services will be open for business; however, our facility and operations will not look exactly the same as pre-COVID”.
The Community Services Building has been modified to allow for social distancing, many chairs have been removed from the lobby and conference rooms, additional sanitizing and safeguards have been put in place, and staff will be either behind Plexiglas or wearing masks when interacting with the public. It is recommended that individuals coming into the public building wear masks as well. Many of our services will continue to be provided via telephone, video-chat, telehealth, and in-person meetings in the community when appropriate. Clients and members of the public may continue to call 608-647-8821 for assistance and inquiries.
Health and Human Services continues to recommend social distancing, masking, and practicing excellent personal hygiene to minimize the exposure and spread of the COVID-19 virus in order to keep our staff, clients, and members of the community safe.
