A confirmed exposure to COVID-19 has shut down the Habersham County Senior Center’s Congregate Meal Program for one week.
All other operations at the Center will continue as usual.
“As directed by local health officials, the Congregate Meal Program at the Habersham County Senior Center will remain closed until November 30, 2020. This allows enough time for cleaning and sanitation,” says county Public Information Officer Carolyn McDuffie.
Habersham’s Meals on Wheels and Wellness Programs will continue without interruption. Staff will work to maintain administrative tasks and will package hot meals for normal in-house clients.
The Senior Center will reopen on November 30. Returning clients will be monitored closely for any signs of illness before being allowed on the bus or into the facility.
“The Habersham County Senior Center takes the health of clients and staff of the utmost seriousness,” says McDuffie. “The center will continue to enforce mask-wearing, social distancing, and strict sanitation at all times.”
