DCS operational status has been updated and will remain as follows until further notice, but may be re-assessed as needed. To assure safe operations during current staffing shortages, as well as to reduce further spread of COVID19 among CCG employees and vulnerable residents, the following temporary changes are now in effect:

• Essential services will be maintained throughout the Department, but teleworking will be encouraged for all employees who are telework eligible. Supportive services such as benefit enrollment & service coordination will be provided virtually to the extent practicable.  A secure drop-box for required paperwork is available at the Port Tobacco location.

• To facilitate teleworking, resident services will remain by scheduled appointment only at Port Tobacco and at all other DCS service locations.  Please call directly to the employee with whom you need to meet, or the main Department at 301-934-9305 to schedule an appointment.

• Removing mask requirements within County Government buildings is effective immediately. While we are removing the mask mandate, those who wish to continue to wear a mask should feel free to do so. 

• Beginning March 1st, 2022, all Senior Centers will be open to the public Monday through Friday. Some “close contact” activities or those requiring shared equipment/materials may be canceled or postponed to reduce disease transmission.

• The school-based Before & After Childcare sites will continue to follow the operating status of CCPS. The Port Tobacco onsite Childcare Center will follow the operations of Charles County Government, unless otherwise noted. Call AlphaBEST for questions about operational changes, if necessary, at 301-535-3446.
