Richmond Co. has reopened their municipal office to the public.
Warden Brian Marchand says it’s not businesses as usual yet.
He says there’s new COVID-19 measures in place.
Marchand tells The Hawk almost everyone who comes to the office will need an appointment and the meetings will be held with physical distancing in mind.
“Any meetings that we’re having with anybody from the public, the one I was involved in we did it in a council chambers and everybody could be separated,” he says.
Marchand says there is one exception to the appointment rule; they’ll accept people who walk-in to make a payment to the municipality.
He says those people will have to obey physical distancing rules, and they’ll only allow as many people in at one time as can while properly physically distancing.
“I would say two-three people in the entrance,” he says. “It wouldn’t be hard to have the social distancing there.”
Marchand says they won’t ask visitors to wear masks.
