Clinton County Reports 29 Additional Lab-Positive Covid Cases

Since our 9/2 update, 29 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported.
CCHD strongly recommends that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, return to mask wearing in indoor public places and crowded outdoor settings. CCHD also recommends residents avoid large gatherings. If residents have attended a large gathering they should monitor for symptoms and mask up for 14 days after the event to protect those around them. If they hear of any positive (or rumored positive) cases that attended the same event they should seek testing, regardless of symptoms or vaccination status.
Note: Our next case update will be Tuesday, September 7.
