NEW!
Venango County commissioners have announced they are closing the county offices.
"Due to the rising number of [Covid-19] cases, all county buildings will be open by appointment only effective Monday, November 30th.
To set up an appointment, please contact the office with whom you have business.
The County will continue to operate under these new guidelines until December 31st," read an announcement posted on social media by Commissioner Mike Dulaney.
"Our two biggest reasons for making the decision was to maintain the safety of everyone, public and workers, and also to make sure the county government can continue to operate. If we have to quarantine our staff due to an outbreak among the employees, we could risk crippling the county and potentially halting vital services," he added.
In Venango County, as of 11/23/2020, the positive cases have risen almost 700 cases in just two months. The Governor today began putting harsher restrictions across the state in hopes to slow the spread again.
Susan Williams of the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce announced today a virtual town hall meeting for 9 a.m. tomorrow, Nov. 24. She has invited Primary Health Network's Chief Medical Officer Dr. George Garrow to join her to provide expert answers to the attendees questions.
“This meeting will provide essential education on COVID-19 that will enable our fellow community members to make informed decisions and take actions that support and benefit our entire community,” said Dr. Garrow. “The COVID-19 pandemic continues to produce uncertainty, stress and trauma. However, with knowledge comes power.”
This event is free and open to the public and will be broadcast live, on the Venango Chamber Facebook page.
“The purpose of this meeting is to provide guidance for protecting yourself, colleagues and family as COVID collides with cold and flu season,” said Williams. “Having the discussion led by Dr. Garrow, a true leader in his field when it comes to dealing with the pandemic, will ensure those in attendance get the most current expert advice. We invite the community of Venango County to attend this virtual informational event!”
Guests who sign up for this virtual event can also email questions upon registration that Dr. Garrow will address during the town hall, to [email protected].
