Suspensions, cancellations added to list

By Melinda L. Lucas

Cancellations and suspensions of local events are ongoing through the coronavirus crisis, and the News will continue to publicize these as they are reported.

In addition, many offices are limiting access to the public, with locked front doors even as employees work at their desks and take calls for appointments or payments.

Meanwhile, at press time, local retail businesses were still open for business, with many precautions being taken to protect both workers and customers. 

Following is a list of businesses and offices that are restricting public access, along with an account of suspension and postponement of events and activities.

There may be other interruptions in the schedule that the News has not been notified about.
