The number of active cases being reported today is the same as yesterday, from which it can be inferred that since yesterday three more county residents are now considered to be recovering from the virus. There are eight fewer county residents in mandatory quarantine today than yesterday. The number of hospitalized remains the same, but today one of those hospitalized is in the ICU. There has not been a death from COVID-19 in Columbia County since yesterday. Yesterday's death was the first in the county since June 24.
