Eight new cases of COVID-19 in Lawrence County

June 22, 2020
Posted by Sheila Harris

   The Lawrence County Health Department is reporting 8 new cases of COVID-19. This brings our total to 18 cases (7 resolved and 11 active). Three cases were acquired from workplaces with a current outbreak. Four are still under investigation to determine the origin. One is a family member of a positive case. The Lawrence County Health Department is working diligently to notify all close contacts.
   We want the public to remember that COVID-19 is still actively circulating and our county is not immune. Most people who get COVID-19 will only have mild symptoms; however, there are some members of our community who are at a higher risk of getting very sick. We must each do our part to protect them, ourselves, our loved ones and the rest of our community by practicing the following:
•    Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
•    Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
•    Stay at home as much as possible.
•    Put distance between yourself and other people (at least 6 feet).
•    Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
•    Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
•    Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily.
    For more information about COVID-19, visit the CDC’s website at bit.ly/about-COVID or call the Missouri COVID-19 public information hotline at 1-877-435-8411.
