COVID-19 Update: there is a growth in cases By Jelaine Harlow Health Education Coordinator/Public Information Officer As of yesterday Adair County has 4 active COVID-19 cases, one hospitalized and 3 on home isolation. We had one new case yesterday which is the hospitalized case. We have 31 active cases in our district across 7 of our 10 counties. We understand that folks are tired of hearing and talking about COVID-19 but we do not believe we have seen the last of it and the case growth backs that up. We urge everyone to take the recommended precautions such as wearing a mask in public, continue social distancing as much as possible and be diligent with hand washing and disinfecting. From Sunday to Sunday across our district, we saw positive COVID-19 cases that had gone to church resulting in scores of "close contacts" being quarantined. Some of those "close contacts" are now converting to positive COVID-19 cases; so, it is good that these individuals were already on quarantine. Church continues to be a difficult environment due to several people being in close contact for an extended period. Anytime you are in an environment for an extended length of time your chances are greater of becoming infected if there is an infected person present. It is very, very important during church services (or any similar environment) that everyone wear a mask and set with your family six feet from others. While we realize we cannot stop the spread of COVID-19 completely, observing this guidance can help our community avoid too many new cases too quickly and; thus, overwhelm our medical and public health infrastructure.
