Knox County extends government office closure

The closure follows the Governor's extension of the Stay at Home order.

Knox county commisioners have extended the emergency closure of county offices.

That includes the knox county courthouse.

This goes along with the extension of the stay at home order put in place by the governor.

All government facilities in the county are closed to the public.

Commisioners are asking folks to do as much business as possible over the phone.

"its to protect all of our staff and to keep government running.

And at the same time it's to protect the public that needs to get the business done.

So we're just following those safety measures and keeping government open in some capacity."
