In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has closed several parks on Lake Lanier.

Corps spokesman Chuck Walker said the areas where people were most likely to come into contact with others have been closed. The corps will monitor the virus and reopen the parks when the virus is no longer a health threat, he said.

The corps published the status of each of its parks on Lanier on Facebook, as of Friday, March 20.
