Testing continues
From County Judge Steve Young Friday evening:
Friday we had four new cases and one discharged case to report. We tested twelve individuals in Buckholts and two were positive. The tests we used were the 15 minute swab antigen tests and thus the positive results are included in our probable cases. Only those who receive a positive PCR test are actually counted as a positive test, even though the antigen test is about 93% accurate. This week we tested 65 individuals and had 5 positive tests.
