Northumberland County has cancelled several meetings and is limiting access to public areas in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
The county is also closing a number of facilities, including its William Street facility in Cobourg, which houses the county’s economic development, tourism and land-use planning offices, along with inspection and settlement services.
In a release, the county said staff continue to work at those offices, though they are now closed to the public. The Edwardson Road material recovery facility in Grafton is also closed to the public, according to the county.
