KALISPELL â Flathead County health officials are reporting a continued rise in COVID-19 cases.
Recent case investigations show that many of the newest local cases of COVID-19 are occurring in clusters, where several people are infected or exposed at the same time, according to FCCHD. The increase in cases appears to be driven by social events and gatherings.
Health officials are urging residents âto make responsible choices and to take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19."
âWhen a positive case is identified, our staff initiates a case investigation and works with the infected individual to help determine all close contacts that may have been exposed during their infectious period,â said FCCHD Health Officer Joe Russell.
