+ 52 Additional Clinton County Positive Cases
Since our 8/26 update, 52 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported.
Currently, CCHD is seeing a mix of cases among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. In most of these cases, the vaccines are doing what they are supposed to do – prevent severe symptoms and hospitalization. Many cases are connected through large gatherings, workplaces, and households.
Regardless of vaccination status, CCHD continues to recommend all residents wear masks indoors, avoid crowds and high risk activities, wash hands frequently, and get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated reduces your chances of contracting COVID-19, protects you from severe illness requiring hospitalization, and helps to eliminate the virus’ ability to mutate and create new variants.
Note: Due to rising COVID-19 cases in Clinton County, CCHD will resume daily updates this week.
