DHS reports cases from all health departments within the county’s boundaries, including tribal, municipal, and county health departments. The county website may not. Also, while the public health department updates data at different times, DHS freezes numbers received at the same time each day to produce afternoon reports.

DHS reports deaths due to COVID-19, or deaths for which COVID-19 contributed to death. Most people who are severely affected by the coronavirus have underlying illnesses and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, and are at increased risk of dying from COVID-19, but live longer without infection. .. The state may correct the number of cases and deaths after further consideration of the victim’s residence, duplicate records, correction of test results, etc.Details can be found at DHS website And Frequently Asked Questions..

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others
• Avoid close contact with sick or sick people
• Stay home as much as possible
• Cancel events and avoid groups, meetings, play dates and unnecessary appointments
• When you are sick, stay at home except for medical treatment
• Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds.If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing 60% or more alcohol
• Cover your mouth and nose with a mask. At the very least, use tissue when coughing, sneezing, or using the inside of your elbows.
