MORROW COUNTY — Morrow County is up to five cases of COVID-19 after the Morrow County Public Health Department confirmed two new cases Thursday, according to a press release. 

The two individuals who tested positive are self-isolating at home and were in known contact with an individual who previously tested positive in the county. 

No other demographic information, such as the individuals’ age range, sex or residence in the county, was provided in the release. However, it noted that positive cases have been found in northern and southern areas of the county. 

“This is a reminder to follow physical distancing guidelines, wash hands often, and to stay home,” the release said. 

Residents are also reminded the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend wearing a nonmedical face covering when leaving the home, and that the virus can be spread by people who aren’t showing symptoms.
