Numbers were down Sunday, October 25, but so were the number of tests.
A friend living in Fayette County said the virus has reached at least one nursing home in Fayette County. That is not official, but with recent elevated Fayette County numbers, it is probably true.
For Fayette County of late, its numbers were light Sunday with seven positive COVID-19 test results for a total of 739. While the number was relatively low after 147 in the four previous days, the seven is off 81 tests given or 9 percent.
Franklin County had two new positive test results as did Union County. Franklin County’s total of positive test results is now 381 while Union County’s is 114.
On Sunday, the state numbers were still high with 2,175 positive test results, bringing the state’s total to 160,454. The state had a dozen new deaths associated with COVID-19, making its total 3,894. None of the three counties had virus-related deaths, leaving their respective totals: Franklin, 25; Fayette, 18; and Union, zero.
