HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County has registered two more cases of COVID-19. The new cases are a female in her 40's with a known exposure from travel and a second female in her 40's with an unknown source of exposure. They are both in home isolation per guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Case contact investigation is underway.
Six previously confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Reno County have since completed recovery and are nonsymptomatic.
The health department continues to have the self-reporting form hosted on its COVID-19 Information Center (https://www.renogov.org/741/COVID-19). The Health Department seeks to mobilize residents to self-report their symptomology through the self-report form to better assist in quantifying and tracking case contact and spread within the county.
This form is designed to both capture responses from those who have already been experiencing symptoms prior to today as well as those residents who begin to showcase symptoms in the coming weeks and months.
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.
We continue to highly encourage Reno County residents to be dependent on health authorities to provide the most accurate information on COVID-19.
