Prince William County Government has been allowed to reopen for phase 3 with promises of safety in the buildings, but still promotes teleworking.
This is what Communications Analyst, Keith Walker, for Prince William County has released to us.
“On Wednesday, July 1, 2020, Prince William County Government as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia will move into Phase 3 concerning COVID-19 restrictions. This means the county will have a limited opening for public service counters in the McCoart Building, Sudley North, Development Services Building, and Hellwig.
Prince William County Government is committed to providing a safe workplace for all employees and customers. County employees that serve the public are required to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
Members of the public are also required to wear a mask when entering county buildings. This is consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order which states:
In accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order 63, all patrons in the Commonwealth aged ten and over shall cover their mouth and nose with a face covering as described and recommended by the CDC when entering, exiting, traveling through, and spending time inside Prince William County government facilities for the purpose of securing public services. The county will have a daytime security officer on duty in the McCoart Building, Development Services Building, and Sudley North to help manage public access, as well as offer masks to people seeking in-person services.
There is an exception to the face-covering mandate for health reasons; therefore, some visitors may not wear masks. Department and agencies will provide masks as appropriate to visitors that need it. On July 6, summer camps will begin at county parks, historic sites, and recreational facilities.
The regional and community libraries will open by appointment. The Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Recycling Program will reopen at the Prince William County Landfill location on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from July 1 to July 31 for Prince William County residents only.
All Solid Waste facilities are closed on Saturday, July 4. The Department of Information Technology, GIS Services Division is accepting commercial applications with required address validation.
The address validations are processed online via email only. This is the first step in the permitting process prior to submitting Zoning and Building Permit applications.
County government continues to encourage telework and alternative scheduling to keep occupancy levels low to accommodate social distancing. The public is encouraged to make appointments when seeking services.
Conference rooms are not yet available to the public, but county-appointed Boards, committees, and commissions can use the facilities. County employees and the public should continue to practice social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting, and enhanced workplace safety measures to ensure that everyone is safe.

Should Virginia ditch the longstanding practice of electing the General Assembly and the governor in odd year elections?
The first odd year election in Virginia was in 1851, after a new state Constitution was approved and members of the House were elected to a two-year term. Before that, members of the House had one-year terms, and voters selected members every single year.
Now, Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell says modern day voters are sick and tired of voting every year.
A Manassas man was sentenced today to 18 years in prison for providing drugs and alcohol to a child in exchange for sex acts and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) depicting the same victim as well as other children.
According to court documents, Olajide Benjamin Ayilaran, 24, met a 14-year-old girl during the summer of 2023 and began communicating with the victim via iMessage. In the messages, Ayilaran offered to provide the victim drugs, alcohol, and nicotine products in exchange for sex acts. Between at least Nov. 21, 2023, and Feb. 29, 2024, Ayilaran met the victim nine times, usually in the morning before the victim went to school, to exchange the products for sexual acts. Ayilaran would wait for the victim in his car in a nearby park. When the victim arrived, he gave her the drugs and alcohol and then had the victim perform sex acts on him in the car.
As bird flu cases continue to rise in the U.S., UVA Health infectious diseases expert Dr. Patrick Jackson provided insights into the latest developments and potential risks during a media briefing. With over 60 confirmed human cases nationwide and recent detections in birds across Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, concerns about the virus’s spread have resurfaced.
Jackson reassured the public that while the presence of bird flu in Virginia is noteworthy, it does not significantly change the risk level for humans. “We’ve known for a long time that H5N1 influenza, in its current strain, is widely distributed in wild bird populations,” he said. “The fact that it’s been detected in poultry operations in Virginia was something we expected to happen sooner or later.”
