(LaPorte County, IN) - LaPorte County government buildings were supposed to reopen to the public on Monday. But, things have been pushed back by three weeks. County Commissioner Dr. Vidya Kora says the change is in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases in other areas, especially out west. He says things are still encouraging here and they want to keep it that way.

County facilities will open back up to the public now on July 6. On Monday, all staff members are expected to return to their usual work stations unless they’ve been cleared to continue working remotely.
