COVID-19 in Calhoun County
Over the past month, there has been a decreasing trend in number of new cases per week, hospitalizations, and positivity rate. This is a great sign, but does not allow us to let down our guard as a community. We need to continue practicing the recommendations of the CDC to help keep the spread of COVID-19 to a minimum.
Wear Your mask.
