    This is not saying franklin county which they were including before the weekend. Are there now cases of covid-19 in Franklin county that they are not telling us about ? Or have people been tested and just waiting for results to”verify”??

      Jennifer,
      Franklin County is sending tests off as people come in with symptoms or suspected exposure. These tests are sent off every day (that I know of). If one comes back positive we will be informed as soon as they know, but testing is not instant. So we should act as if it is or could be here, as we won’t know that it is here (by testing) until it’s been here already 🙂 Stay safe!

    I am following the news from last couple of weeks and most of the newspapers are sharing the data about number of tests and the people who were tested positive and the number of people who were hospitalized none of the newspaper has shared the data about how many people have recovered and rejoined the community.
