2020-03-14 - PUBLIC NOTICE - For the latest information on the COVID-19 Virus

Read the full Public Notice below.


King George County is closely monitoring updates on the Coronavirus and is staying aware of potential risks posed by its spread. In addition, we are in close conversations with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are working to keep our community safe.

The King George County Government provides essential services to our residents and businesses. We remain committed to that mission. Therefore, we have established policies that will ensure our ability to meet that responsibility to the public even during this difficult time.

We have an equally important obligation to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus by educating our employees and citizens and exercising plans that will limit our community’s vulnerability to its different strands, to include COVID-19.

As such, we are taking the following actions:

  • Updated our County Emergency Operations (EOP) - Disease Control to include the King George County Emergency Operation Center’s response to the potential for the virus to breach our community.
  • Restricted non-essential travel for County employees and approved a liberal sick leave policy.
  • Approved a three-phased approach to government operations, which can be referenced on our website.
  • Reminded employees about simple hygiene habits they can practice at home and at work to prevent the spread of all viruses.

Our residents and businesses depend on us to provide government services reliably. Therefore, we have coordinated and communicated with every department in your local government to ensure that access and service will be sustained.

Updates and references will be published periodically and can be accessed via our website at:
