Another COVID-19 case among the staff of the Christian County Clerk’s Office has again forced the closure of that office.
The clerk’s office closed today and will remain closed Tuesday and Wednesday for cleaning and sanitizing, a staff member announced in a Facebook post. Like most government agencies, the clerk’s office was already scheduled to be closed Thursday and Friday for the Christmas holiday.
“Our offices will reopen on Monday Dec 28 for our employees, unless we have any additional positive cases,” the announcement states.
Prior to closing for business this week, the courthouse was open only for employees, who were conducting business by mail, drop-off boxes and web renewals. Vehicle tag renewal is also available online as long as the vehicle tag is not expired.
