While the cases are not in high numbers as in the past, COVID-19 cases continue to be reported locally.
Marshall County Public Health Nurse Sandy Dunfee told MAX 98.3 FM news that 84 cases were reported in the month of April and that there has been a small uptick in cases in the last few weeks. She noted those who have been diagnosed have only had mild symptoms.
Dunfee encourages residents to get a COVID-19 test who are experiencing symptoms of sneezing, coughing, runny nose, chest congestion, fever, sore throat, or shortness of breath.
