Also Sunday afternoon, Curry General Hospital notified Curry County Public Health of another confirmed COVID-19 case of a Curry County resident who has also been self-isolating. This is unrelated to the first two cases.
Curry County Public Health has been in contact with all three individuals who are apparently symptom free at this time and will monitor them on a daily basis. The Oregon State Health Authority has been notified as well and will be assisting Curry County with information and direction.
It is imperative that we all follow the OHA, CDC and Governor’s guidelines about social distancing, protecting yourselves and staying home to slow the spread and save lives.
Curry County Public Health will continue to keep the public informed with all the information we can in order to keep our citizens safe.
