As COVID-19 cases again increase in region, Carroll health official encourages mask-wearing in crowded indoor spaces

Carroll County’s deputy health officer said Tuesday that “COVID-19 cases in Carroll County are exploding, mostly due to the increased contagiousness of current strains, and very little attention to masking in crowded spaces, especially schools,” and encouraged everyone to wear a mask in indoor crowded spaces. Dr. Robert Wack also said, in an interview, that hospitalizations are increasing in the county “and people are still dying from COVID-19 infections.”
