Cindy Keller, director of nursing, deputy  health commissioner for Hardin County, issued the following announcement on Monday morning concerning covid-19 cases in Hardin County.

Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases and limited resources, the Kenton Hardin Health Department (KHHD) nursing staff will only be contacting positive COVID-19 cases in order to continue the COVID-19 contact tracing process.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that Ohio Department of Health Interim Director Lance Himes signed a revised health order to limit mass gatherings in Ohio. This order takes effect at midnight tonight (Monday, Nov. 16).

“Despite the health order that limited mass gatherings to 10 people that was signed in April remaining in effect, we have seen rampant spread of the virus as a result of banquets, wedding receptions, and social gatherings following funerals,” said Governor DeWine. 

“We have seen great tragedy associated with such events.  It’s not the ceremonies causing the problem.  It’s the party afterward.”
