Logan County Health Department Director Steve Browning said the county is still seeing the effects of Thanksgiving gatherings a month ago. He added that he expects to see another spike in cases after Christmas and the New Year.
âI see it staying at least the same or worse,â Browning said. âWhat weâre seeing right now is just a culmination of, basically, the Thanksgiving holiday, plus any new contacts that theyâve had. Weâre going to see the same thing, probably, for Christmas and New Yearâs â people getting together and, potentially, spiking it again. Thatâs where weâre at.â
