Coronavirus Forces Fayette County Health Department To Adjusts Services

wicprograms.org

The Fayette County Health Department is implementing some service changes in response to the current coronavirus pandemic.

In light of social distancing and limited staff availability, the health department is stopping in-person women-infants-and children visits.  Those can now be conducted over the phone.  Public health clinic visits will be limited and available only as same-day appointments. 

Calls must be made ahead of time and walk-ins will not be accepted.  This change will not affect the needle exchange or harm reduction services.  In-person food handler certifications are being suspended. 

And Vital Statistics, used for birth and death records, will be closed to walk-in visitors.?
