The department is also reaching out to people who had close contact with these cases. Tedford contact tracing is very important, but some people don’t want to be forthcoming.
Eight Madison County residents are currently hospitalized. One of those patients is on a ventilator.
There are 341 Madison County residents have recovered from COVID-19 and 47 people say they are feeling better.
