An area health department is adjusting its schedule.

According to the Lafayette County Health Department, it is currently working a temporary hybrid schedule through the holidays in an effort to keep staff healthy and keep its doors open.

Health-department officials say, “This is going to change our COVID reporting schedule. We are working on the new reporting schedule, and will have numbers for you this week. We are still working on cases every day, and our business hours remain the same, Monday-Friday 8:30 (a.m) to 4 p.m.”

The health department is still doing WIC; and walk-in clinic hours remain the same, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.

Health-department officials say, “If you have a COVID question or concern, and the COVID team is not in the office that day, you will be given an alternate phone number to call to reach us.”
