Wyoming Cnty. doing well with masks, distancing, should not drop their guard

Wyoming County statistics on Covid-19 remain healthfully low, but nevertheless show testing results which demonstrates a slow, yet steady growth in positive Covid-19 numbers. The Silver Lake Daily Newsletter has been tracking the Wyoming County Covid-19 web site since mid June and this is what we found.

Positive testing results from:

• June 16-30 increased by 4;
• July 1-15 increased by 8;
• July 16-31 increased by 9;
• August 1-12 increased by 6;

These show an increase of 27 cases of Covid-19 from June 15 to August 12.
The total cases of Covid-19 recorded through August 12 is 118.

These reasonably low Covid-19 figures point to some successful observing of the practices of masking, social distancing, and a reduction in group gatherings. It also points to the clear necessity of continuing these safety practices.
