New coronavirus case in Richardson County

(KLZA)--  A second positive case of COVID-19 has been confirmed in Richardson County.

That word came Sunday in a release from the Southeast District Health Department.

The release says the individual is a man in his thirties.

All identified close contacts will be asked to self-quarantine.

COVID-19 symptoms include cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell. In many cases, a person will have more than one of these symptoms.

The Southeast District Health Department, as of Sunday, reported a total of 16 confirmed cases of COVID-19 within the 5-county district. That includes 6 cases in Johnson, 6 in Otoe, 2 in Nemaha and 2 in Richardson.

SEDHD reviews all reported test results as soon as they become available and will continue to report county totals to most accurately reflect current cumulative case numbers in the district.
