I was on Local Control. Ground Control was combined with Flight Data and Clearance Delivery. There was a stand-alone Controller in Charge.Aircraft X was rundown for an IFR release. The release was granted by ZZZ TRACON and Aircraft X departed from ZZZ to ZZZ1. At the time ZZZ1 had a ground stop [GS] due to COVID cleaning and we did not coordinate a departure time with TMU.Prior to Aircraft X taxiing; there was a strip printed from TMU stating that there was a ground stop to ZZZ1. That strip was placed near the Status Information Area by the Ground Controller.During Aircraft X's departure roll ZZZ TRACON called over on the shout line to advise us of the ground stop and that is when we became aware that Aircraft X should have been delayed on the ground.We as a Tower team did not catch that Aircraft X needed to be delayed and we should have been more observant to the ground stop strip and requested a departure time from TMU for Aircraft X.I recommend that when a GS is in effect that the GS is displayed on the SIA [Systems Information Area] and that a strip is sent to all facilities at the same time. Often we will receive a flight strip with a CFR; GS; GDP...ect.; but the information is not displayed on or SIA for several minutes if at all.
Tower Controller reported an aircraft got off the ground that was in a ground stop due to its destination airport being closed for COVID-19 cleaning.
