One more recovers from COVID, another case confirmed

Another Donley County resident has been added to the list of ‘recovered’ patients Monday afternoon, and one more new case was confirmed.

Donley County Judge John Howard, MD, said his clinic has now run 69 tests on local residents. Five of those tests were still pending Monday afternoon, 20 were positive, and 44 were negative for the COVID-19 virus. An additional three people were tested positive at facilities outside of the county, bringing the total local confirmed cases to 23.

Most patients are still doing well at home; however, two local COVID patients were known to be hospitalized because of the virus.

Out of the 23 confirmed cases, four local people now have officially been listed as “recovered.”
