Coronavirus continues to surge in Ohio
ASHLAND COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS ISSUE A PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING AFTER SEEING 5 CONCURRENTS OUTBREAKS ACROSS THE COUNTY INCLUDING A DEADLY OUTBREAK AT AN AMERICAN LEGION POST.
we can put in place 5 positives that were all together on one particular day
ON MAN PASSED AWAY AND DOZENS OF OTHERS ARE AFFECTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE POST IN JEROMESVILLE. HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE ALSO HANDLING A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK AT AN ASSISTED CARE FACILITY IN LOUDENVILLE. THE COMMISSIONER SAYS, AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC PEOPLE WERE VERY CAREFUL WITH PRECAUTIONS, BUT LATELY THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND MIGHT BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE SPREAD.
i do attribute a lot of that to participating in large gatherings as well as we have had residents travel to high risk states outside of ohio who returned positive
this is a big deal and we need to understand that it is a big deal and even though Ashland is small we are just as much at risk as anybody else is
OFFICIALS ARE ASKING RESIDENTS TO REMAIN VIGILANT ABOUT MASKS, SOCIAL DISTANCING AND CALLING THEIR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY IF THEY’RE SICK. THEY’RE ALSO ASKING PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THE OUTBREAK LOCATIONS TO SELF QUARANTINE AND CALL THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
