Caldwell County has three additional positive COVID-19 cases. Public health officials are investigating and providing for the essential needs of the patients. At the time of testing, patients are instructed to remain in isolation until they are fever free for 72 hours without medication, have improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath), and for at least seven days since symptoms first appeared.

While Caldwell County has seen a rise in the number of cases the last two days, policies directing people to stay at home and practice social distancing are helping to slow the spread of COVID-19, according to researchers. A composite modeling forecast, developed by a collection of North Carolina experts, found that these policies will help lower likelihood of the healthcare system becoming overloaded with a spike of COVID-19 patients all at the same time.
