COVID-19 Update
The Columbia County Department of Health has released its numbers for today. Since yesterday, there have been no changes in anything except the number of test results. (There were 144 since yesterday.) Today, the CCDOH reported the number of people in mandatory and precautionary quarantine, data that was omitted yesterday. Since on July 25,
when those numbers were last reported, there are 16 more county residents in mandatory quarantine and 4 fewer in precautionary quarantine.
As of 3 p.m. on July 27, 2020:
- Columbia County has had 37 residents that have passed away from COVID-19.
- Columbia County has 477 confirmed positive cases.
- There are 9 active cases of COVID-19 in Columbia County. We are monitoring 44 county residents on mandatory quarantine, and there are 8 on precautionary quarantine.
- 431 of the 477 cases have recovered from COVID-19
- 5 of the positive cases are hospitalized, none of those hospitalized are in the ICU
- We have received 17,321 PCR reports. Please note this number may represent duplicate reports, out of county reports, and multiple nursing home testings.
Today's report from the CCDOH also contained this warning:
Although our numbers are low, it is IMPORTANT to remember to stay home if you feel symptoms. Recent positives were feeling ill and continued to go to work and/or socialized, potentially exposing many more people, putting them on a Mandatory Quarantine for 14 days. Please continue to practice social distancing and wear your mask!
Did the CCDOH disclose where the people who felt sick but went to work anyway worked? I'd like to know whether I may have been in contact with them. If so, I'd get tested immediately.
ReplyDeleteLike with most things people are getting lazy or complacent. They (like me) are tired of dealing with all of this and are forgetting the consequences of letting your guard down. This is why I believe the CDC says there is going to be a new wave: people are people. Stay the course everyone!
