HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Health Department Director Nick Baldetti doesn't have specific numbers, but he believes local people are continuing to comply with the restrictions on COVID-19 generally.
"I and my staff have received less communication in terms of concerns over non-adherence than what we were maybe a few weeks ago," Baldetti said. "Personally, when I'm out and about in the community, I'm still seeing best practices being adhered to for the most part. I think our community is still doing what they are asked to do."
The amount of time that social distancing and mask wearing will need to continue is still unclear.
"We'll continue to get new information," Baldetti said. "As it comes out, we plan on continuing best practices moving forward until such time that the science suggests doing something differently."
The World Health Organization walked back Tuesday comments that initially used the phrase very rare when talking about asymptomatic spread of COVID-19. There is still much debate and research continuing over exactly how much those who have no symptoms spread the virus.
