TCHD provides an email distribution list for anyone who would like to receive weekly COVID-19 updates. These updates are sent on Fridays. If need to know information is released throughout the week that will be shared via email as well. Please note: We will not be sharing information about individuals under public health supervision or under voluntary quarantine for COVID-19 in our county. These individuals are not showing any symptoms and are not under investigation. As is our normal practice when we monitor situations of infectious disease in the community, information will be shared as is necessary to protect the public while balancing individual privacy. As with other diseases, we do not routinely share suspected case information until it is confirmed. The same will be done with COVID-19.
