The Saline County Health Department will continue to conduct contact investigations in this case as with the other cases.  This is a process where the Health Department retraces a persons’ steps and activities so that they can identify anyone who may have been potentially exposed to COVID-19.

Governor Kelly’s Statewide Stay-at-Home order is still in effect.  It cannot be stressed enough the importance of staying home and only going out for essential tasks.
