Community transmission suspected in Lyon County

Saturday's COVID-19 situation report from Lyon County Public Health showed the the county has six positive cases and indicates community transmission.

As far as demographics, three women and three men between the ages of 40 and 75 have been identified in the county. Five of the cases are travel-related. The positive case unrelated to travel leads Lyon County Public Health Officer Renee Hively to believe there is community transmission within the county. An additional challenge of community transmission is the potential for asymptomatic transmission. An individual is capable of spreading COVID-19 without the knowledge of being positive.

“We’re seeing a lot of folks having asymptomatic COVID-19, which means that, though we understand that traditional symptoms of COVID are the high fever and the respiratory issues … you can actually have COVID-19 and not display those symptoms,” Public Information Officer Verlin Conkle said in a phone interview.

With spring unfolding, Conkle also said to not assume that typical allergy symptoms are allergies and to stay home if feeling unwell.
