Milam COVID-19 case hit double digits
From County Judge Steve Young just before 4:20 Friday afternoon
1. 10th case in the County: We were called today by a local health care provider advising of a 10th confirmed case of the virus in the County. This is a local resident who was tested locally. However, the person self quarantined shortly before the test and the test was done over 10 days ago. The person is home and is recovering. Thus, we hope this person will make a full recovery.
2. Currently we have six persons that have recovered from the virus, three are currently self quarantined and one is hospitalized in intensive care.
3. Cameron Dairy Queen: The 10th case is not related nor does the infected person live in the vicinity of the three infected employees that worked at the Cameron Dairy Queen. The Cameron Dairy Queen voluntarily closed yesterday due to the infections. All of the 20 plus employees will be quarantined to make sure no one else is infected.
4. Cameron Pizza Hut: A family member of an infected person who worked at Dairy Queen, worked at Pizza Hut. That person and one other Pizza Hut person have been quarantined since last Friday, April 10, 2020. As of today, neither of those two persons have any symptoms. No employee that works at Pizza Hut has any symptoms and thus none have been tested for the virus.
