“Contact tracing continues to reveal that the current surge in cases in Garrett County is primarily spreading through family, friends and social gatherings,” said Health Officer Bob Stephens. “Too many people are letting down their guard because they are comfortable with their close social circle and they are not maintaining the distancing and face covering use that is known to reduce the spread.”
