This brings the total number of residents who have tested positive for the illness to 127 across the county.

The cases reported today included 16 males, ages 19-79, and eight females, ages 39-78.

“We need everyone to do their part by staying home as much as possible and being vigilant about practicing social distancing,” stated County Executive Dennis Levinson in a press release.

There is currently no vaccine or treatment for this virus. Those who experience mild or moderate symptoms such as fever, cough, aches and pains, are advised to stay at home, self-isolate and monitor their symptoms. Most recover within two or more weeks.

Individuals with more severe symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath, and who may have underlying health conditions including heart or lung disease, diabetes or a compromised immune system, should contact their medical provider.
