Franklin County Health Nurse Angie Ruther told commissioners and others the recent uptick in the COVID-19 positive tests in Franklin County comes from a nursing home, a spring dance held this summer and a church.
She was answering a question via Zoom during a Franklin County Commissioners meeting Tuesday morning, August 11.
Later, in a press release, it was stated Franklin County suffered its 15th COVID-19 related death. It is a male in his 80s.
In a related matter, commissioners approved claims amounting to around $78,000 to be turned into state for reimbursement. These are COVID-19-related costs and are part of the CARES Act.
