Child Care to remain operational
PAINESVILLE, OH (March 17, 2020) – At the Lake County YMCA, the safety and well-being of our members, staff, volunteers and the broader Lake County community have always been and will always be a top priority.
We have been diligently monitoring all national and local updates surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. In alignment with the governor’s executive order, we will be closing our facilities to the public effective Monday, March 16, 2020 at 10:00pm until further notice. Our child care and school day off care will remain open until we are no longer legally allowed to remain in operation. We continue to encourage those who can stay home with their children to do so.
We understand this is a very concerning situation. The Lake County Y has been a pillar of the community for more than 154 years, throughout both good and challenging times. The decision to close our facilities was made to best ensure the safety of everyone in our community. We will continue to monitor this evolving situation and will work with local officials to determine what future actions will be necessary.
During this closure, we will provide updates and information directly to staff, members and participants via email. We will also be posting information to our website www.lakecountyymca.org and social media channels: Facebook (@LakeCountyY), Twitter (@LakeCountyY), and Instagram (@LakeCountymcaohio).
We are asking everyone to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and take their own measures to protect themselves, including not putting themselves in situations with large crowds or where they come in close contact with others, staying home if they do not feel well, frequently washing their hands with soap and water and covering their coughs and sneezes.The Y For a Better UsTM
