The Stone County Health Department (SCHD) reported the third case of COVID-19 in Stone County on Friday, April 3. This is considered a case of community spread, but is not related to the other two cases in the county. 

During the course of the health department's investigation, no enhanced risks of community spread were discovered. "There is little to no risk of potential community exposure. This individual has followed steps necessary to limit exposure to Stone County. Close contacts of our third case have been contacted and are following isolation and quarantine guidelines," reported SCHD.

Because of HIPPA and other guidelines, no other information about this patient will be released to the public. 

The health department encourages all residents to take appropriate precautions such as good hand hygiene and social distancing. CDC is also recommending cloth face coverings or masks as an additional, voluntary public health measure to help slow the spread of COVID-19 (N95 respirators should continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders). The cloth face coverings or masks should be worn in areas of significant community-based transmission (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies). If you are sick, stay home and call your provider, emergency room, urgent care, emergency personnel or health department before seeking medical attention.
