Clermont County Public Health has confirmed its second positive case of COVID-19 in the county. The new case is a male in his 60’s. He is a household contact of the first case that was reported yesterday.

As with any confirmed case of COVID-19 and other reportable diseases, our team of nurses is in contact with this individual to get a list of all known contacts he has had. The person with COVID-19 will be in isolation until released. All known contacts will be called and asked to self-quarantine for 14 days.

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 people you should:

• Limit your contact with people outside of your home
• Practice social distancing by keeping a distance of six feet between yourself and others
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water
• Work from home, if possible
• Check their temperature daily before going to work, stay home if your temperature is higher than 100.4
• Limit your trips to the grocery store, go weekly rather than several times per week
