We are very happy to report that as of today, there are zero active confirmed or probable cases of COVID-19 being monitored by FCPH. This is the first time that we have reported zero active cases since the first case was reported on March 24, 2020.
While this is great news, there is still an active pandemic and cases continue to increase in other areas of Ohio as well as in other states. If your summer plans include travel, take the proper precautions and be aware of the guidelines for the area you are visiting. Many areas require cloth facial coverings in public settings.
PREVENTION remains our best weapon in the battle against COVID-19. Please continue to be vigilant in taking precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
–Wear facial coverings (when appropriate)
–Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds
–Maintain social distance
–Clean and disinfect “high touch” surfaces often

The fight against COVID-19 is far from over, but please take a moment to be proud of your efforts, and then continue to do what you’re doing, Fayette County. These are the results we have all been working towards. #InThisTogetherFayetteCounty”
