A total of 12 news cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in four local counties: Henderson (4), Daviess (3), Ohio (3) and McLean (2).

Green River District Health Department announced the new cases Saturday morning. 

The total number of cases reported in the Green River District is now 90. Three additional previously confirmed cases are now reported as recovered. The total recovered cases in the district are now 20 — 18 in Daviess County and two in Henderson County. There has been one death in Daviess County.

Daviess County now has 58 total patients who have tested positive, Henderson County has 15, Ohio County has five, McLean has four and Hancock County has two. Other counties in the district with confirmed cases are Webster (3) and Union (3).

It was determined during the contact investigation on Friday a case that had been reported in Union County on Friday was actually a Henderson County resident. The totals reported today for each county reflect that correction.

“In the days and weeks ahead we expect to see more new cases” said Clay Horton, GRDHD Public Health Director. “We all play a part in this effort and it is crucial we do everything we can. Stay home, avoid crowds and practice physical social distancing – staying at least 6 feet away from others. The lab-confirmed cases are only a portion of what is in the community. People must continue to be vigilant in helping stop the spread of COVID- 19.”
