(KAIR)--Six of the eight persons confirmed to have COVID-19 in Jefferson County have recovered.
That word was delivered Monday when County Emergency Services Director James Tweed spoke during the regular meeting of the Jefferson County Commission.
Tweed told the Commission that one more of the eight is expected to be released from treatment this week, while another remains in hospice care.
According to the unofficial minutes of the meeting, Tweed, during his time before the Commission, said “citizens need to continue to be on guard, stay vigilant, and continue to practice social distancing and other preventive measures.”
The Commission, meanwhile, is planning a special meeting this week.
The meeting will be Friday morning at 9:00 with the Jefferson County Health Department to discuss virus-related restrictions.
