HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Health Department announced Wednesday that the number of positive COVID-19 cases remains at 11.

Health Department Director Nick Baldetti also announced that a fourth person previously confirmed to have COVID-19 has completed recovery and is nonsymptomatic, per disease investigation guidelines furnished by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Remember, the state of Kansas is under a statewide stay home order. This means all citizens are directed to stay in their homes unless performing an essential activity as described in Executive Order No. 20-16 signed by the governor of Kansas.

The department highly encourages Reno County residents to be dependent on health authorities to provide the most accurate information on COVID-19. Please practice good hygiene with frequent hand washing, proper respiratory etiquette such as coughing and sneezing into your elbow bend, limit handshakes and physical contact. Stay home if you are feeling ill and call your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms.
