The number of cases has decreased over the past several days. The following is the count for the last ten days
- Number of positive Covid 19 test: 146
This is only from testing at Eastland Memorial Hospital, B & W clinic, Family Health Clinic, and one school system. Home tests and verbally reported positives are not included. Since many people test at work or at home, the positive cases are likely much higher. However, the trend from the numbers above is going down.

While the positive cases seem to be on the decline, we must remain vigilant in following public health guidelines. To prevent infection and spread, avoid close contact with those who are positive, wear masks (N95 if possible), and get vaccinated.
