“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families as we learned today that 25 additional members of our community have been lost to this pandemic,” said County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.
“We are continuing to see a slow but steady fall in the number of new cases each day. With the Super Bowl this weekend, many will be tempted to return to their traditions with big parties and celebrations. Please continue to keep indoor gatherings to a minimum and let’s keep these positive trends going in the right direction.”
Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
