The Columbia County Department of Health has released its numbers for today. People have been heralding a drop in new infections, but today's news is pretty grim. Since yesterday, there have been 4 deaths from COVID-19 and 47 new cases of the virus in Columbia County. The number of active cases being reported today is 85 fewer than yesterday, from which it can be inferred that, since yesterday, 128 county residents have recovered from the virus.
