Over the weekend, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, told Americans now is the time to avoid essential errands like going to the grocery store and pharmacy

Ferrer reported 15 additional deaths along with 420 new cases, or 1083, over a 48-hour period, leading to a slight uptick in the county’s mortality rate to 2.3 percent. To date, 147 individuals have passed away from COVID-19 and the number of positive cases stands at 6,360. COVID-19 remains a most challenging disease for those over the age of 65 and those facing underlying health conditions.

Ferrer once again provided updates on the investigations her team is doing in institutional settings, a number that continues to skyrocket. On Friday, public health officials were looking into 67 facilities that reported at least one positive case of coronavirus. Today, Ferrer reported that number to be 109 at venues like nursing and assisted living homes, correctional facilities and jails.

Masking, however, does not replace the “powerful tools of staying home and isolating,” nor does it replace hand washing and other protective measures. Residents are encouraged to also use homemade or store-bought cloth masks while completely avoiding the use of N95 masks which should be exclusively reserved for health care workers.
