Wood County High Community Transmission of COVID
We are continuing to see an increase in cases and Wood County is now at high community transmissions. As cases rise, the probability of encountering someone who has COVID in the community and bringing it into our homes increases. Implementing prevention measures - vaccination, masks, distancing, staying home when sick and handwashing - minimizes the impact of COVID everywhere.
Please see the documents below for additional information on the effectiveness of masks for preventing COVID.
