COVID-19 Update

The Columbia County Department of Health has released its numbers for today, and they should give us pause. Since yesterday, there have been five new cases of COVID-19 and one recovery, increasing the number of active cases by four to nine. One person with the virus remains hospitalized. The number of county residents in mandatory quarantine has increased by nine, but the number in precautionary quarantine has decreased by one. It has now been 108 consecutive days since there has been a death from COVID-19 in Columbia County.

With five positives out of 272 test results received, the positive percentage rate for today is 1.8 percent.

  1. Sorry, but 5 new cases is scary. It means people are being lazy and ignoring the rules. Look at LI and see what's happening there!
