The Christian County Health Depatment Board of Public Health held their monthly meeting virtually Wednesday night.

In the one hour 35 minute session, the board heard a review of the recent hearing on a violation of a quarantine order, from State's Attorney Wes Poggenpohl.  He told the board that he's in a better position to handle such cases in the future, and added the public's view to fight such orders has the potential of burdening an already burdened court system.

Health Department Administrator Greg Seiders gave his monthly report, telling board members that the state has taken over contact tracing, and that current guidance for those who have COVID symptoms or test positive, is 5 days of quarantine followed by 5 days of making.   The quarantine period for day cares is still 10 days according to Seider.

Seiders added that the Health Department is conducting rapid tests on 60 to 90 residents a day for COVID, and at the moment they have an adequate supply of tests.

Dr. Graham was appointed by the board as the new medical director, which is an unpaid position.
