Garrett County Health Department and Garrett Regional Medical Center (GRMC) also sent out a joint press release yesterday afternoon. Garrett County has seen a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, with an infection rate now above the state average (emphasis added). The recent spike has been linked through contract tracing conducted by the Garrett County Heath Department to an increase in social gatherings among friends and family. Please read the press release, follow the directives and tell others in your “friends, family and work circle” to do the same. This is important and concerning.
