Local Dec 11 COVID-19 Report: Lab-confirmed positive +10, Recovered +10, Active 92, Tested +428

Since our 12/10 update, 10 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported and 10 individuals have moved to recovered.
COVID-19 is in our community! Assume everyone you interact with is potentially positive, and take precautions accordingly. Reduce your close interactions with others as much as possible—even with your friends and family. Keep in mind, if you are identified as a contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the next few weeks, you will have to spend your holiday season in quarantine. Wear a face mask, keep at least 6 feet between yourself and others, wash your hands often, avoid crowds and gatherings, and stay home if you are sick.
