The tally of COVID-19 cases reached five today, April 3, 2020, according to Donley County Judge John Howard, MD.
The judge said turnaround times on testing of possible COVID-19 cases has improved dramatically. Of 21 tests conducted at the Clarendon Family Medical Center, three cases have been positive for the virus, 13 were negative, and five tests are still pending. Two additional positive Donley County resident tests were conducted outside the county.
Howard said all five patients are home in self-quarantine and doing well medically.
Friday afternoon, Howard was joined by local P.A. Devah Pittman, Sheriff Butch Blackburn, and EMS director Anna Howard for a Facebook Live conference hosted by the Enterprise focusing on the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic. That conference can be seen here.
