OTTAWA – A woman in her 30’s is recovering at home in isolation after being the third case of COVID-19 found in LaSalle County. The LaSalle County Health Department said Tuesday that the woman had traveled to a known area of high exposure. Health officials are working to identify and investigate all individuals who were in contact with the case. No additional information, including what community she was from, will be made available. The Health Department expects to see additional cases and residents need to assume that they have been exposed to COVID-19. Every single LaSalle County resident can help by staying home, limiting the number of people you are in contact with, maintaining a 6-foot distance from others, and washing your hands. If someone develops symptoms of cough and fever, they should stay home and isolate themselves from others. Should symptoms worsen, they should contact their healthcare providers immediately.
