Since yesterday, there have been just 5 new cases of COVID-19--the first time in a long time the number of new cases has been in the single digits. The number of active cases being reported today is 2 fewer than yesterday, from which it can be inferred that, since yesterday, 7 county residents have recovered from the virus. The number of county residents hospitalized today remains the same as it was yesterday, but there is one fewer in the ICU. There has not been a death from COVID-19 in Columbia County since Friday, February 18.
