City closes City Hall to public

The city of Fallon has announced in order to mitigate the possible spread of COVID-19 and to protect its employees and residents, City Hall will be closed to the public effective immediately.

City staff will still be at work and available to assist residents and businesses via telephone or electronic means during normal business hours. City crews will also be at work as they continue to operate and maintain the city’s utilities and other essential service.

“There is nothing more important to us than the health and safety of our employees and citizens,” said Mayor Ken Tedford. “The city continues to prepare, but not panic, and I will continue to implement precautionary measures necessary to protect our employees and citizens as this situation evolves.”
