Three Rivers Health District COVID 19 Update 8/10/2020

By sferrelj
Three Rivers Health District
In Three Rivers, our new case counts have increased over the last week to 96.  Over the last week, staff members of three different schools across our jurisdictions tested positive for coronavirus, and we experienced a large outbreak at a long term care facility.  This reflects increasing community spread across our jurisdictions.  We all must make every effort to mask in public, practice social distancing in all venues, stay out of crowds, wash our hands, and practice good sanitation, to help reduce this increasing viral threat.
