It is always tragic to lose one of our community members. Our thoughts and prayers go out to
these families. With regards to the 14 deaths, 9 are related to a congregate care facility. Lincoln
County Health Department continues to work with congregate living facilities to mitigate the
impacts of COVID-19.
. A PUI is a person who was tested for COVID-19 and is self-isolating until results are received.
As of July 21, 2020, it is no longer recommended to require re-testing for negative test
results (except in specific circumstances where an individual has a severe compromised
immune system or pre-existing health conditions) to discontinue isolation to return to normal
activities such as returning to work.
REMEMBER THE “3 W’s” AND REDUCE YOUR RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COVID-19
WEAR a cloth face covering, WAIT in lines 6 feet apart, and WASH your hands often.
