"We continue to stress the things the public can do to protect themselves: If you are sick, do not go to work, school or travel,'' said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer.
People should also cover their mouths when coughing, sneezing or blowing their nose and wash their hands frequently, according to the HHSA.
