To date, there have been no confirmed Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Howell County. However, at the recommendation of the Howell County Health Department and the CDC, with no large gatherings of over 10 people, the West Plains Public Library, Jimmie Carroll Sports Complex/West Plains Parks & Recreation, West Plains Civic Center, Welcome Center and the West Plains Senior Center will be closed to the public beginning March 18 through March 31, unless further action is needed to expand the closures.
While we recognize this decision affects many citizens in our community, our top priority is the health and well-being of the community, along with public safety. Please know this is a rapidly-changing situation that requires frequent evaluation, and we will continue to follow the guidelines of national and local public health officials as this situation develops. In the meantime, please call City Hall, 256-7176, with any questions during this time.
