Effective as of noon today, March 25, my office will close to the public. We’ve had people from surrounding counties with confirmed Covid-19 cases trying to access my office for birth certificates due to office closure where they reside. I can not put my staff at risk.
We will be conducting business by appointment only between 8-12. This is so we can screen the nature of the request and confirm a Bee County resident. We are able to fax and email documents as well. I will continue to reevaluate things as we get more updates on the virus.
This was an extremely hard decision for me. We work so closely with the public. I have to keep my staff, other employees and myself safe however.
