KINGMAN Mohave County is experiencing a reduction in the number of new cases of COVID-19, Mohave County Public Health Director Denise Burley told the county board of supervisors on Thursday, Aug. 6.<\/p>\n
She spoke about some signs of progress, and said shes cautiously optimistic and that the positive trend will continue.<\/p>\n
That said, Mohave County is still in the red zone, Burley added.<\/p>\n
In the future, the public will experience a one-day delay in receiving updated COVID-19 statistics from the Mohave County Department of Public Health.<\/p>\n
District 3 Supervisor Buster Johnson tried to stop the change from happening but did not find an ally on the board. <\/p>\n
The change will be implemented starting Monday, Aug. 10.<\/p>\n
The supervisors will receive their daily report by 11 a.m. each day, then the information will be delivered to the county communication director, who will release it to the media.<\/p>\n
Soon, the countys coronavirus response hub on its website, mohavecounty.us, will be more visually appealing, Burley said, presenting a demo of the new look. <\/p>\n
She also mentioned her department has hired a nurse and one more investigator the eleventh in what is expected to be a team of 12.<\/p>\n
Burley praised the investigators work. They completed 400 investigations in two weeks, helping address a backlog of cases from a spike last month, she said.<\/p>\n
