Local COVID-19 Report for August 10th: Lab-confirmed positive +2, Probable +0, Active cases -2, Recovered +4, Tested +698

Here are today’s Clinton County Health Department COVID-19 case updates.

Humidity is expected to rise this week. In addition to wearing face coverings, washing hands frequently, and maintaining physical distance (at least 6 feet), stay cool while staying safe with these tips:
– Bring water with you and drink plenty of fluids.
– Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing.
– Pace your activities so as not to overexert yourself and find shade to cool off.
– If you are feeling any symptoms of heat exhaustion (such as sweating, nausea, or dizziness) move to a cool place, loosen your clothing and sip water.
– If you are wearing a cloth face covering and feel yourself overheating or having trouble breathing, put at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others and remove the face covering.
