What makes activities safer?
Activities are safer if you can maintain at least 6 feet of space between you and others. COVID-19 spreads easier between people who are within 6 feet of each other.
They are held in outdoor spaces. Indoor spaces with less ventilation where it might be harder to keep people apart are more risky.
People are wearing masks. Interacting without wearing masks also increases your risk.

We regret to inform you that there has been another death. Below is our current case information as well as a video from Scurry County Judge Dan Hicks.
Active 47
Recovered 307
Deaths 3
Total cases 357
Death was an 84 year old female with preexisting medical conditions.
The Health Department is currently investigating an outbreak at the Goodlife Assisted Living Facility. The first positive case was an employee that was notified on Friday, September 11. The second case was also an employee that was tested and notified late Saturday night. On Monday, September 14, the health department was notified of four residents that were also positive. The positive residents and employees were all contained in one building. Due to the availability of rapid testing, and the swift action of Bill Dickinson and the staff of Cogdell Lab, the rest of the residents and staff of that building were tested, with results received late yesterday evening. Due to the number of positive cases at that point, our local health authority, Dr. Bid Cooper, along with the administration of Goodlife, made the decision to test all residents and staff. There were a total of 80 tests performed in less than a 24 hour period. There were a total of 56 negative tests, and 24 positive. All results have been received.
As of right now, there are 14 residents and 10 employees that are positive for COVID19. All precautions are being followed, with further testing and quarantine procedures implemented. The Health Department is continuing the investigation and will keep the public updated as information unfolds.
