"Reopening" has begun across the country, including here at home. Businesses are beginning to open their doors, often with strict limits to continue blocking the spread of COVID-19.

Health officials fully expect to see the number of cases rise because more people will come in contact with each other. We continue our weekly visits with local health officers; Dr. Jim Shames from Jackson County Health and Human Services returns to answer questions about the virus, its transmission, and new developments in slowing its spread.
