COVID-19 Tips, Resources and Relief Efforts

COVID-19 Cases in MississippiAs of Friday, September 4, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reported 823 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in our state to 85,939 and the total number of deaths to 2,558. State health officials urge Mississippians to take special precautions as we enter into Labor Day weekend. According to State Health Officer, Dr. Dobbs, Mississippi still has one of the highest rates of COVID in the U.S., and even modest-sized gatherings can greatly accelerate the transmission of this virus. As seen in the data following Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, holiday get-togethers can drive massive increases in COVID cases and deaths. Our COVID-19 cases have been relatively consistent over the last two weeks, and that’s mainly due to each of us doing the small things to protect one another. Please continue to practice good hygiene and make smart, health-conscious decisions over the holiday weekend. |
