According to the statement, the call centers will be staffed by employees from multiple health departments. If you get a busy signal, wait and call back in a few minutes. The numbers do not have voice mailboxes, so you cannot leave messages. Call center staff also have updated information on general county services and resources, to assist residents who do not have internet access, and those with questions on county services.
The Virginia Department of Health encourages everyone to:
• Stay home when you are sick
• Avoid contact with sick people
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
• If you are experiencing symptoms, call your doctor
• Practice social distancing. Maintain at least six feet of space between yourself and other individuals when out in public
• Avoid crowds of more than 10 people
