Greene County will follow the guidance of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control and National Institute of Health.

The Greene County government continues tracking updates on the Covid-19 Coronavirus from state and national agencies. Our number one priority is the safety, health and welfare of our residents, employees and visitors.  All normal county functions will continue with emphasis on conducting routine business via e-mail, telephone, or regular U.S. Postal Service. Individuals with an absolute need to visit in person, can schedule an appointment with the specific office in which they intend to conduct business. Phone numbers are available on the Greene County website:  www.co.greene.pa.us/departments. We encourage everyone to heed the recommendations of the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control and National Institute of Health.

Employees that need to alter their work schedules either due to illness or family support requirements should coordinate with Human Resources as to their individual options for tele-commuting, sick leave, vacation time, Family Medical Leave, etc. Do not come to work if you are sick!
