Saline County COVID-19 Update from Judge Arey

To Saline County Residents,

Attached [below] are the numbers for Saline County as of last night.  Currently there are 29 confirmed cases Saline County that is up 15 from April 1st  Sadly I did receive a call yesterday morning from the Regional Director for the Department of Health notifying me of Saline County’s first resident that has died as a result of COVID-19.   She could not give me any details about the individual, but I ask that you add this unknown family to your prayers. 

The CDC is now recommending that everyone wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public.  The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.  Please do not use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.  Continue to keep a distance of 6 feet between yourself and others.  The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.  I plan to start wearing a cloth mask today when I’m out in public and at the office and I plan to encourage others to do the same.  I’ll be honest,  it feels awkward or more like weird, but I know that it is necessary.   

Please Stay Safe, and remember no more than 10, stay 6 feet apart and wash your hands.
