Harrison County coronavirus numbers are headed in the wrong direction — up and in record-setting fashion.
A total of new 48 cases were reported over the past three days, including 23 cases in the past 24 hours in Harrison County. The 23 new cases was the largest one-day total since counting began in March. And in the past week, the average number of cases identified each day in Harrison County has doubled, to 7.43 cases a day.
Statewide, there were 283 new cases reported in the past 24 hours, bringing the overall total to 19,799 cases since reporting began, and 895 deaths statewide.
The word from today’s Be Prepared report: “More and more businesses are expanding hours, and more and more special events are taking place. Proceed cautiously.
“Much of this goes back to personal responsibility — on behalf of business operators as well as customers. Wear a mask, social distance, if you’re not feeling well or sick, or if you’re vulnerable, don’t leave the house. Handle business by phone or online and use curb side options when available.”
