Hello, thank you so much for keeping us up to date on this essential information. I am wondering if it’s possible to learn more about the Covid infection “profile” in Talbot County, i.e., how our hospital is impacted and whether or not the creeping rise in cases is thought to be due to greater number of tests or if it reflects increased transmission of the virus.
