Macon and Fayette Counties are reporting 2 cases, and Moultrie is reporting 1 case.

There isn’t a whole lot of information in regards to identifiable information due to HIPAA and federal law however, the Health Department does go through and call individuals that may have been exposed.  If the Department of Public Health calls you, please answer.  It is imperative for your safety.  If you do not get a call, you do not need to concern yourself with a positive patient report. As always stay vigilant and practice social distancing.
