FLOYD COUNTY — Both of Floyd County’s city hall lobbies are once again closed to visitors, thanks to a surge in COVID-19 cases across the area.
Floydada City Hall and Lockney City Hall both had signs on their front doors Tuesday afternoon informing citizens that the lobbies of the buildings are closed to the public due to rising COVID numbers. Both offices will continue to serve customers via their drive-thru windows.
Additionally, Lockney’s notice indicated that the city is requiring masks for anyone who does need to enter the building.
For over-the-phone business, Lockney City Hall can be contacted at (806) 652-2355. Floydada City Hall’s daytime telephone number is (806) 983-2834 and the city can be reached after hours at (806) 983-6371.
The Floyd County Courthouse was open and operating as usual on Tuesday.
