The effects of COVID-19 closed the doors of several Danville and Pittsylvania County public entities this week.
In the county, nine departments either are dealing with COVID-19 cases and exposures or have made arrangements to minimize public contact.
And the entire Danville courthouse was closed on Friday following a positive test of an employee. The building will receive a deep cleaning before reopening to the public on Monday.
Danville Sheriff Mike Mondul said in an email on Friday that the buildingâs closure may have hampered some of its normal operations.
âSpeaking overall, much of the business which occurs in the courthouse is in person,â he wrote. âI m sure there are some administrative things that can be handled remotely via email and phone, but the bulk of the business is in person.â
