Cleveland County Identifies Fifth Case of COVID-19

SHELBY, NC – A fifth Cleveland County resident has tested positive for novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The person involved in this case did not recently travel or have direct contact with a person confirmed to have COVID-19, indicating community transmission. Local health department personnel are working with the individual to identify close contacts.

“This is the second case of COVID-19 in the county that appears to be caused by community transmission,” Interim Cleveland County Health Director Deshay Oliver said. “This confirms that COVID-19 is now spreading throughout our community. I strongly urge county residents to comply with the Stay-at-Home Executive Order that goes into effect Monday at 5:00 p.m. Residents should only leave their homes for essential services and, when doing so, should take proper precautions such as social distancing and hand washing.”

Because there is now community transmission of COVID-19 in Cleveland County, it can be expected that the county’s case count will continue to rise. Moving forward, instead of publishing a press release for each new case, the Cleveland County Health Department will maintain in real time the county’s current number of COVID-19 cases at https://clevelandcounty.com/cchd/corona-virus-information/. This will allow the Health Department to keep the public up to date with the most accurate information available. In addition, the Health Department will continue to provide updates and pertinent information through local news outlets, social media, and press releases when appropriate.
