STOW, Ohio — City buildings in Stow have been closed to the public until further notice due to COVID-19 concerns, the city announced Friday.

Residents and businesses that have city business to attend are asked to do so over the phone. All city departments can be reached at 330-689-2700.

Essential services such as police, fire and EMS are still fully functional.

The city said it is still collecting donations at Stow City Hall. A donation cart is located in the vestibule.

Community leaders will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation, the city said.

“We are working diligently to provide essential services to residents who need them. Our police, fire and EMS services are fully functional and continue to provide the best service and response to the community”, said Mayor John Pribonic. “We are disappointed to have to close our buildings to the public, however the safety and wellbeing of our citizens and our employees is of the greatest concern. When it comes to resident safety, we will always err on the side of caution."
