     HOLT COUNTY REPORTS SECOND COVID-19 CASE

    Holt County Health Department has confirmed its second case of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), a probable case by definition. The patient is a female under the age of 18 years and is a resident of Holt County. The second case is a close contact to a confirmed covid-19 case. The individual is currently recovering at home in voluntary self-isolation. No other information will be provided about the patient.
    The Holt County Health Department worked quickly to identify and contact any close contacts. Close contacts will be asked to follow necessary precautions to limit the potential spread of virus. If you are not contacted by a local public health agency, you have not been in contact with the confirmed case and are not at increased risk.
    COVID-19 cases are now classified as either confirmed or probable in accordance with a directive from the Centers for Disease Control. The classification of either confirmed or probable is based on the following criteria and definition:

    Confirmed Case – A COVID-19 confirmed case meets the confirmed laboratory evidence, which is the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a clinical specimen using an approved detection test verified by a certified testing laboratory.

    Probable Case – A COVID-19 probable case meets clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence (close contact with a confirmed or probable case; travel to or residence in an area with sustained, ongoing community spread; or a member of a risk cohort as defined by public health authorities during an outbreak), with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19.

    The Holt County Health Department encourages all citizens take protective measures including avoiding gatherings of more than ten people, washing your hands often, staying home as often as possible, cleaning frequently touched surfaces, avoid touching your face, and staying home when you are ill. If you are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness, please contact your provider for an assessment. Please call before presenting to a clinic or emergency department.

  • 4/14/2020: HOLT COUNTY REPORTS FIRST POSITIVE COVID-19 CASE: Holt County Health Department has confirmed its first case of novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  The patient is a female between the age of 30 and 40 years of age and is a resident of Holt County.  The individual is currently recovering at home in voluntary self-isolation. No other information will be provided about the patient.

  • The Holt County Health Department is working quickly with local, regional and state partners to identify individuals who may have been in contact with the confirmed case. Close contacts will be asked to follow necessary precautions to limit the potential spread of virus.  If you are not contacted by a local public health agency, you have not been in contact with the confirmed case and are not at increased risk.

    This first positive case reinforces the message that local, state and federal authorities have been stressing over the past several weeks.  COVID-19 is within our communities and residents of Holt county are encouraged take protective measures including avoiding gatherings of more than ten people, washing your hands often, staying home as often as possible, cleaning frequently touched surfaces, avoid touching your face, and staying home when you are ill.   If you are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness, please contact your provider for an assessment.  Please call before presenting to a clinic or emergency department

ATTENTION:
Please note that effective Monday, March 23, 2020, the Holt County Courthouse and offices will be changing their procedures.

The safety and well-being of the Holt County officials, employees, and citizens is our primary concern. Therefore, effective Monday, March 23, 2020, as a proactive approach for COVID-19, the courthouse doors will be locked. All offices are still open for business. You must contact the specific office at the number listed below. We feel most business can be handled over the phone, by mail, or by email. If it is something that can't be handled over the phone, you will be asked a series of health questions. If the answers to these questions are no, you may be granted entry into the building. You will then have to sign a log in sheet. Again, these precautions are for the safety of everyone!

The Holt County Health Department is still offering services. They are continuing to offer birth and death certificates as well as immunizations (by appointment only) and WIC visits (by appointment only). The state courier service will continue to pick up daily as well. Please call the number below before coming to the office.

As you may know, the April 7 General Municipal Election has been postponed to June 2. We encourage those who want to vote absentee for this election or those wanting to file as candidate in the August Election to contact the County Clerk's Office.

We ask that if you are ill or have recently traveled, to please follow the recommendations and guidelines put forth from the CDC and from state and federal leaders. We will continue to post updates on our website www.holtcounty.org and on the Holt County Sheriff's Department Facebook page as we get them.

We understand this is not the usual routine but we are doing our part to follow guidelines and recommendations for everyone's well-being. If you have any questions, please contact the appropriate office. Thank you for your cooperation during this time. We hope all Holt County citizens remain healthy, understanding, and diligent as we all get through this.
