MINNEAPOLIS -- The Ottawa County Health Department today reported the county's fourth confirmed case of COVID-19.
"The individual is currently maintaining in-home isolation and is stable. The Ottawa County Health Department has identified contacts and will monitor for fever and respiratory symptoms," the health department explained in a news release.
The health department noted that its goal remains to prevent and limit COVID-19 exposure to the county population.
"As Governor Kelly's Stay at Home order expires on May 3rd we urge Ottawa County residents to continue to practice social distancing and respect mass gathering orders. This means maintaining physical distancing of six feet apart and keeping groups to no more than 10 people. To protect others, CDC suggests residents wear a cloth mask when in situations where they might find it difficult to maintain a six-foot distance, as in a grocery isle," the health department explained.
