City Sees Second Coronavirus Death of June, Confirms 10 New Cases of COVID-19

City health officials reported one person died of the Coronavirus this month on Tuesday and 10 new cases.

The new numbers bring the city’s case count to 1,058 and the death toll to 85.

Health officials said everyone must continue to follow distancing and infection control directives and wear a clean cloth face covering that securely covers both your nose and mouth when in contact with other people not in your household. It’s important if someone thinks they could be positive and are awaiting testing results, to stay at home and act as if they are positive for COVID-19. This means self-isolating for 10 days and 72 hours after symptoms and fever subside, or until they receive a negative result. If a person tests positive for COVID-19, they should plan on receiving a call from a contact tracer to discuss how to protect themselves and others, to find out where they may have been, and who they were in close contact with while infectious.
