8/17 update

8/17 data update:

Face Covering Local Order Reminder: Per the Local Health Officer Order from 7/21/2020, the local health order for face coverings remains effective until "the Health Officer revises or rescinds it." http://www.lincolncountymt.us/…/Local_Order_7.21.20_final.p…

This means that we do not fall under the Governor mandate of less than 4 active cases. This is in place to ensure our case count remains low and we do not yo-yo (possibly daily) between mandatory masks or not. Please continue to be diligent in face covering wearing, social distancing and practicing good hygiene.

The Health Officer will continue to review the current situation including active cases and testing capability.
