Cobb County government on Monday offered a few more details about the reopening of facilities and services that have been shut since mid-March due to COVID-19.
As we noted elsewhere, the public will be able to attend Tuesday’s Cobb Board of Commissioners zoning hearing at the county office building in Marietta with social distancing guidelines in place.
This follows the full reopening of outdoor parks last week, except for playgrounds and restroom facilities. The county is “awaiting further public health guidance” in reopening those amenities, and when to allow organized sports.
Also among the new pieces of information announced today is that county summer camp programs are suspended until further notice, due to Gov. Brian Kemp’s restrictions issued last week.
Aquatic centers remain closed, and the county said today it’s targeting the first week of June for limited access at some of those facilities. They weren’t specified.
The same goes for public libraries. Next week staff will begin safety training and preparing for reopening.
Curbside services will begin at seven libraries in June, but those branches also were not specified. After the June 9 primary elections, at which some branches will serve as polling stations, those same seven library branches will have “a phased-in reopening” with limited services.
“Limited services in all remaining libraries will start in early summer,” according to the county’s message, which encouraged citizens to visit the library system’s website for further details.
Safety training and other reopening plans will take place at county senior centers during June, with “select activities” starting after the July 4 holiday.
