State-wide numbers might have become steady following July’s rise in covid-19 cases, but local health officials say that’s not the case within the region.
Lincoln Trail Health spokesperson Terrie Burgan says the rise in cases locally likely indicates a pocket, which is normal with an easily transmittable virus. Burgan says that the state as a whole has done well against the virus when compared to other states. While cluster data is not yet available, Burgan says it is being compiled, and should be available in the near future.
