The Christian County Health Department has received an update from the lab that reported the three presumptive positive cases for COVID-19.
All three are now confirmed as positive, Amanda Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the health department, said in a news release Thursday.
Christian County has a total of five confirmed cases of COVID-19. All are adults — ages 21, 24, 37, 61 and 75. The 24-year-old is a man. The others are all women.
‘As always, we would like to remind community members to continue to practice social distancing, frequent hand-washing with warm water and soap, and should you develop any symptoms including dry cough, shortness of breath, or fever, contact your local primary care provider,” Sweeney said.
