(Undated) – The confirmed COVID-19 numbers in the county remain unchanged at eleven confirmed cases, all of which have recovered. However, a new potential exposure has promoted the Crawford County Health Department to ask anyone that may have visited Villa’s Country Store between June 1st and June 8th to monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. According to the Health Department, if you begin to experience symptoms, notify the Crawford County Health Department, contact your primary care physician, and self-quarantine immediately. The CCHD reminds you, if you were in the store for less than ten minutes, you are considered low risk. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Muscle or body aches
