Loudoun Now
In the early days of March, Loudoun leaders started gearing up the public response to a new virus that was sweeping the globe from its origins in a city in central China. While warning COVID-19 was a serious public health threat, few then could envision the life-changing impacts the battle would bring.
Most remarkable about those early days is what wasn’t known.
In the first public briefings on the new coronavirus, Loudoun’s Public Health director reported the latest direction from the national and international authorities, including that residents should not make a run on medical masks that would be needed by healthcare workers but would provide little protection to the general public. At the time, authorities believed the virus was primarily spread by contaminated surfaces, not through the air. There was no test available to know who had been infected and no treatment established.

As I stand here today, Yuba and Sutter county are the hotspot- not just in California but in the nation, said Rick Rawson, President of Adventist Health + Rideout.
