SEVEN NEW COVID CASES THURSDAY

From County Judge Steve Young late Thursday night:

Thursday we have seven new confirmed PCR tests and two new confirmed antigen tests in Milam County.  We were able to discharge six PCR cases from the active list and two antigen cases from the active list.  However, the Milano ISD had to cancel its football games for this week due to an infection within the ranks.  While our numbers have come down, rest assured the virus is alive and well and with us.

we tested 12e individuals in Cameron with two positive results.  Friday we will test in Buckholts from 8:00 a.m. – noon.  If you are a Milam County resident with symptoms we will be happy to test.  Tomorrow we will use the rapid antigen testing.

If you have not had a chance to watch the video or listen to the compelling story that Randy Rodriquez has to tell, listen to the attached great, short interview that Jay Davis of KRXT put together.  This is truly the story of a man behind the numbers and it makes the numbers you are about to read more realistic. 

Don’t take a chance.  Be safe – wear a mask!
