County coronavirus numbers seesaw

On October 7, Carter County reported three confirmed active cases of COVID-19 and was no longer under the governor’s mask mandate. By October 10, the county reported four active cases and went back under the directive requiring masks.

The next day, three individuals were reported as recovered and the county went back to one active case, meaning no masks were required. Then, on Tuesday Carter County reached a new high for confirmed active cases with 15, again falling under Governor Bullock’s mask mandate.
