Five Nodaway County Residents Test Positive for Coronavirus

Five Nodaway County residents tested positive for the Coronavirus Thursday, the Nodaway County Health Department reported. The individuals are a man between 40-49 years of age, a woman between the ages of 40-49, and three children between 0 and 9 years old. They are isolated at a private residence, and are contacts to a known positive case.

If you have not been contacted by the health department, you are not considered a close contact, and you are not at increased risk. The health department urges the public to maintain six feet of separation, limit person to person interactions, practice good hygiene, and wear a mask. 

There have now been 43 positive tests for the Coronavirus in Nodaway County since the pandemic hit the area in April. Of these, 28 are no longer in isolation.
