DANVILLE, Va. – The Danville Family YMCA will close its doors for two weeks in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Under recommendation of YMCA of the USA, the local organization has decided to close, effective March 16, 2020 at 12pm, through at least March 29, 2020.

In a statement Monday, the Danville YMCA said: We understand that closing our facility will affect many of our community members. With this in mind, it is essential for your health and the health of our community that we take great care of ourselves in spirit, mind, and body during this time.
