(KLZA)--During his weekly Covid-19 update Wednesday, Community Medical Center CEO Ryan Larsen noted there were two confirmed cases of coronavirus in Falls City with nine tests pending.

148 of the 159 COVID-19 tests performed locally have come back negative. 

Larsen did say the Southeast District Health Department is following up on a rumored third case in Falls City,  but that at this point there is no confirmation.

Larsen said the results of tests done elsewhere should be reported to local health departments.

Everyone is encouraged to continue to follow CDC Guidelines for COVID-19 and other communicable diseases including wearing masks when out in public.
