Orange City Council has changed the services it's delivering to the community following the weekend decision to begin a seven-day COVID lockdown.
Orange CEO David Waddell said the changes were aimed at keeping the community and Council staff COVID safe while maintaining the critical services that keep the city operating smoothly.
"The community of Orange has been here before. We know what it takes to keep safe and get through this lockdown together. The Council team also knows how to work through a lockdown and keep the city operating," Mr Waddell said.
Mr Waddell urged the community to follow the orders of NSW Health in this critical moment across the region.
