One positive COVID-19 case was reported today in the 28645 Zip code. Additionally, the number of recovered patients has increased to 33. To be counted as recovered and be eligible to return to work, patients must meet all of the following criteria:
- At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared
- At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications
- Improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath)
The case count is cumulative, and cases are reported in the county where patients reside. Outbreaks in neighboring counties have directly impacted the number of cases in Caldwell County.
