YORK-York County has suspended its COVID-19 Helpline effective March 2. The decision was made due to a decline in the number of callers seeking assistance following the implementation of the Vaccinate Virginia phone line and website in addition to the increase in vaccination availability. York County’s COVID-19 Helpline received 2,500 calls and registered roughly 1,800 citizens ages 65 and older. Citizens needing assistance should now contact the Vaccinate Virginia phone line, 1-877-829-4682, which is open daily from 8am to 8pm, or visit the website anytime at vaccinate.virginia.gov.

The New Local News Model
On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.
So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.
This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.
