Here we are one week into an emergency declaration caused by an invisible predator that has turned our world upside down.
Goochland’s first case of Covid 19 was identified last week,
another recently reported. Schools, county buildings, and courts are closed, but some functions continue.
Local
government employees are available by phone or online to handle many routine
matters. See the week of March 23 operating status from Goochland County,
including revised procedures and operating hours. Go to: http://www.goochlandva.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=438
and follow the links.
The Economic Development Department has put up a website
devoted to Covid 19, with a link: http://www.goochlandforbusiness.com/242/Businesses-Open-During-COVID-19
listing Goochland establishments that
remain open. Please patronize these as you are able. Local businesses give back
to the community in so many ways, let’s return the favor when they are in peril.
Social media is sharing ideas for home schooling,
availability of grocery items, and encouragement. It also provides badly needed humor.
Our school division is working very hard to feed kids during
the disruption. The Sunshine Bus stops at several locations throughout
Goochland and breakfast and lunch are available for pickup in the bus lanes of
schools. By Friday morning, more than 100 people accessed this service. See the above county website for complete details.

| The Sunshine Bus offers free meals to students at sites around the county. |
Where do we go from here? No one really knows. We all want
to get back to normal—though it will undoubtedly be a new normal—as soon as
possible. Keep your distance, stay safe, and wash your hands.
