Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak:
Service impacts and important resources
Ramsey County government remains open and we are committed to providing services throughout the coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak while protecting the health of residents and our staff.
County services have been redesigned this week to drastically reduce person-to-person contact while ensuring welcoming, accessible, equitable and efficient service options.
Visit ramseycounty.us/coronavirus to learn about:
- Accessing county services.
- Health information - including symptoms, prevention and contacts for health questions and assistance.
- Community resources - including food, housing and employment services.
- Unemployment assistance.
- Business resources.
Additional details will be added daily as operations continue to be implemented and develop in the days and weeks ahead.
Drop-off and processing sites
Most services will be provided via phone or online options. For limited situations, three locations in the city of Saint Paul and three suburban county locations will serve as secure drop-off and processing sites for documents related to all service types. Not all sites are available yet, but all will be in the days ahead – please visit ramseycounty.us/coronavirus for details.
Customer Contact Center
Ramsey County’s Customer Contact Center is available from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday – Friday at 651-266-8500 as a one-stop option for directing and resolving questions.
Ramsey County’s office phone lines are open during regular hours. If you receive a busy signal or message when calling, it’s because of the heavy cell phone call volume in the Twin Cities metro area.
If possible:
- Try calling from a landline phone.
- Try calling from a cell phone connected to another mobile carrier.
- Try calling again later.
