The public will no longer be able to enter City Hall, City Court and all other indoor government facilities beginning Wednesday until further notice, according to a news release from the city.

All visitors and patrons will also be restricted from entering playgrounds at Pioneer Frontier Park and Camp Jordan, though the rest of Camp Jordan Park will remain open.

Citizens are asked to communicate with all office and city administration by phone, fax, or email. City staff are avoiding person-to-person contact and congregations of people due to the coronavirus, according to the release.

The move follows a Friday order that suspended dine-in service at restaurants and ordered gyms to close.

Hamilton County is now up to 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

The hours of operation for City Hall will be from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
