Is there a breakdown of WHERE THESE 168 cases are in the county? I saw Holy Cross has over 100, but there are 2 sites
The government should do a better job in identifying and naming the specific areas of this out break to enable people in the locality be more careful .I understand because of HIPPA names should not be mentioned but the cities /streets where there is outbreak should be mentioned. If we want to control the spread of this virus.
You said exactly what I was talking with my husband today. We need to know at least the cities. Did you 100 cases in holy cross hospital????
