Payette, Idaho. On July 13, 2020 the Payette County Board of County Commissioners approved a policy requiring face coverings when there is a heightened risk for contracting COVID-19. The requirement of face coverings may change and will be adjusted based on Southwest District Health’s Risk Levels. In addition to the new requirement the Commissioners encourage the public to follow the CDC guidance for social distance and sanitation when conducting business at county offices. The public should refer to the CDC’s recommendations on “How to Protect Yourself & Others” found here.

Patrons entering county owned buildings will be required to wear face coverings.

As described in the Idaho Stay Health Order, the public should still:

• Maintain at least six-foot physical distancing from other individuals
• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer often
• Cover coughs or sneezes
• Regularly clean high-touch surfaces and not shake hands
• Stay at home if sick
• Wear face coverings while in public places.

The Governor and director of the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare issued the Stay Health order moving Idaho back to Stage 2 effective November 14, 2020. The Order can be found here. Any questions about the Stay Health order can be answered by referring to the Corona Virus FAQ or by calling the COVID-19 Hotline at 1-888-330-3010.

 

Due to COVID-19 related issues the following changes have been made.

The Clerk's Office will not be processing passport applications until further notice. Other services may be limited, please call ahead.

In person jail visitation is currently prohibited. More information can be found here.
