Update on Cases
Today’s Cases: 32 new cases – 215 active and 22 hospitalized.
Outbreak Information
- There are increased cases or outbreaks in the following areas:
- Congregate Living Facilities – both staff and residents
- Large and Small Gatherings - small gatherings are especially cause for concern as people usually are around close friends and family when masks and social distancing are not being done.
- Households – once it gets into a household, it spreads very quickly if the individuals cannot social distance and mask from each other.
- We have already had some possible exposures from Halloween.
- Industries
- Workplaces
- Schools / Daycares
