Humboldt and Gas have been added to the communities that have closed their respective city halls, due to rising health concerns amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Humboldt City Administrator Cole Herder shuttered the door to all city offices Tuesday morning, after Allen County Regional Hospital announced there is a “person under investigation” of having COVID-19. As of this morning, no cases of the coronavirus have been determined to exist in Allen County.
City services will continue, Herder said. Bills may be paid online, by mail or by phone with a credit card. City Hall also has a drop box adjacent to the drive-through window.
