KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Monday, Kalamazoo County Government Administrator Tracie Moored announced that as of Tuesday, November 10, Kalamazoo County Government Buildings will be closed to walk-in requests and inquiries until further notice.
The decision is being made due to a rise in COVID-19 cases in both Kalamazoo County and statewide.
Residents can still find forms, contact information and other important documents on the county’s website at www.kalcounty.com.
Inquiries that require an in-person visit will be done by appointment only. Contact information will be listed under each department on the website.
“We intend to model actions that are proactive in slowing the spread of COVID-19.,” Moored said in a statement. “The health and safety of our more than 900 employees and all residents of Kalamazoo County has been, and remains, our top priority. Kalamazoo County Government will be moving our services online and by appointment only.”
County Health Officer Jim Rutherford is also speaking on the change.
“As COVID-19 cases continue to rise here in Kalamazoo County and across the state, it is imperative residents wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash their hands frequently,” Rutherford said in a statement. “I know a small get-together with friends seems harmless, but these small gatherings have been the biggest culprit for spreading COVID-19.”
Kalamazoo County Courts will also be phasing to online appointments only next week. Residents can check the Kalamazoo County Government website for specific information.
