(KAIR)--Atchison County is continuing to see community spread of the coronavirus.

That word was delivered in a news release Wednesday by Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter, issued to announce a three-case increase in the County, bringing the total to 48.

According to Lanter, two of the cases are men, one in his fifties and the other in his sixties, while the other case is a woman in her forties.
Lanter said all three are isolating at their homes.

Atchison County has one current virus-related hospitalization, which Lanter said Tuesday was a patient who had been thought to have recovered.
