“People must continue to be vigilant in helping stop the spread of COVID-19. In the days and weeks ahead we expect to see more new cases and an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations,” 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.”
Cases are expected to continue to rise as testing capacity increases in the area and across the state.
