Liberty County is reporting three more cases of COVID-19

Three more residents of Liberty County have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to the Liberty County Office of Emergency Management.

Information on the new cases was distributed to the LCOEM by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The new cases are being reported as:

  • 50-60-year-old north Liberty County male, who is recovering at home;
  • 30-40-year-old north Liberty County male, who is recovering at home; and
  • 30-40-year-old north Liberty County female, who is recovering at home.

There are things everyone can do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then wash your hands.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Minimizing exposure is especially important for people who are 65 and older, or who have an underlying health condition like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer. People in those groups have a higher risk of developing severe disease if they do get COVID-19, and the safest thing for them during an outbreak will be to stay home as much as possible and minimize close contact with other people. To get ready, they should talk to their doctor about getting additional prescription medications and have enough household items and groceries on hand to stay home as needed.
