Dare County Reports 6 COVID-19 Cases on Sept. 12th
The Dare County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has received six new positive COVID-19 test results today and yesterday, bringing the total number now to 488 cases, as of Saturday (9/12/20) evening.
These most recent cases include one female non-resident of Dare in the 18-24 age group, two female non-residents in the 25-49 age group, two male non-residents in the 50-64 age group, and one female non-resident in the 50-64 age group, all of which have been transferred to isolation in their home counties.
“Non-resident” cases are those who do not have a Dare County address listed on their identification card, including visitors, non-resident property owners, individuals living and working in Dare County for the summer, and those who may have recently moved to the area and have not yet been able to update their identification card.
Cloth face masks or coverings are mandatory to be worn in any public spaces where social distancing can’t be maintained in Dare County and throughout North Carolina.
Local and state health officials continue to strongly encourage everyone to follow the 3 Ws – wear a cloth face covering if you will be with other people, wait at least six feet apart and avoid close contact with other people, and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
