As we navigate through the ever-changing COVID-19 environment, we will continue to provide information on developments, regulations, statistics, and programs surrounding the outbreak.

Lincoln County Statistics-
As of Monday, May 18 , the Lincoln County Health Department is reporting the following information: Confirmed Positive Cases-3; Confirmed Negative Cases-387; Pending-25; Confirmed Resident Deaths: 0. Confirmed Cases: Currently in isolation-2; Released from Isolation-1.

Tips for businesses reopening-
• Plan to protect employees
• Have conversations with employees if they express concerns. Some people may be at higher risk of severe illness. This includes older adults and people of any age with serious underlying medical conditions.
• By using strategies that prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace, you will protect all employees, including those at higher risk.
• These strategies include: implement telework and other social distancing practices, requiring employees to stay home when sick, promoting hand washing, providing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies for cleaning and disinfecting workspaces.
• In workplaces where it’s not possible to eliminate face-to-face contact, consider assigning higher-risk employees work tasks that allow them to maintain a six-foot distance from others.
• Inform and educate workers and customers
• Place posters at the entrance to your workplace and where employees and customers are likely to see them.
• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has print resources available.
• Post signage on the front door letting customers know about changes to your policies and instruct them to stay away if they are experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms.
• Provide regular updates to let employees know what they can expect.
• Develop training materials to share with employees covering topics, such as: social distancing measures that will be in place, how to protect yourself and others through hygiene and sanitation, and the importance of not going to work or public places if you are feeling ill.
