Riley Co. Public Health Officials say there are five new cases of COVID-19 in the county since Friday, June 12, bringing the county total up to 79 positive cases.
The Co. Health Office says that there are three deaths related to the virus, 17 active cases and 59 recoveries.
Riley Co. says four of the new patients are male, ages 21, 22, 28 and 61 while the last patient is a 19-year-old female.
The County says at least two of the cases are related with travel outside the county and that contact tracing is still ongoing for the rest of the patients.
The three deaths mentioned are from the Leonardville (home of Jordy Nelson) Nursing Home. These are the first nursing home outbreaks we've seen.
I live in Pott. County and was notified that one of our city cops has tested positive for Covid-19 from a county deputy who also tested positive. They are working on contact tracing now.
Yeah glad this is over.
