COVID-19 affects all segments of the population in different ways. Although older adults and people of any age with underlying conditions may have more severe illness, no one is immune from the effects of this virus. We owe it to each other to faithfully practice watching our distance, wearing our masks, washing our hands and staying home when we are sick.

Twenty-seven COVID-19 deaths have been reported by the Health Department in September. A total of 57 Greene County residents have died from the virus.
