Lee County another official woman has been reported to the Health District as of Today, Friday, August 21. There has been another 60+ year old woman who has shared she has tested positive who has shared on Facebook, but the Health Dept hasn't officially reported the case.
If you look throughout the District, other counties are being hit far more seriously than Lee, but these clusters have contacts in Lee County, so our numbers have been steadily climbing and we may have a cluster sometime soon. Don't be surprised.
Please continue stringent hygiene practices (Wash those hands), social distancing and wear the masks.
The County will continue to follow health department guidelines, and not forcefully close things, but it is up to every person in the County to take care of themselves and protect others.
And if you feel ill, stay home and see a doctor. I predict we have challenges ahead, but absolutely believe,
We've Got This Lee County.
