“Over the last eight months, it’s probably going to double. That’s completely avoidable. All we have to do is wear that mask. We now We are on an unsustainable path, “Landers said. “I definitely wanted to touch the base and let everyone know that we’re not on the right path as a community and we’re on the path of color designation,” he said.

Positive rates are one of the indicators used by the state to declare a geographic area as a yellow zone, as well as an orange or red zone, to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Such designations include a series of escalating restrictions, such as business closures, assembly restrictions, and may switch schools to online learning.
