“As we send our deepest sympathies to her friends and family, we also ask for their privacy during this difficult time,” Angela Hogan, Administrator for the Moultrie County Health Department, said. “The MCHD will release no additional information.”
To date, 586 Moultrie County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, which includes seven previous COVID-19 related deaths.
The MCHD strongly advises individuals and businesses to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our communities by using these precautions: Watch physical distance and keep six feet from others.
