COVID-19 has changed the lives of so many people and businesses throughout Douglas County over the course of the last couple of months.
Some businesses have been forced to close, others have had to change hours. Some business owners have had to completely change the way their business operates. Others have started to offer services they’ve never offered before such as delivery, curbside pickup and take-out.
Peoples’ lives have been disrupted. Parents have been turned into teachers as students are now learning from home due to schools being shut down.
Masks are being worn by people buying groceries, going to the doctor or when shopping for essential needs such as toilet paper, which has been in short supply.
Times are different.
