Richland County is reporting its first confirmed case of COVID-19.

The county health department reports the patient is a man in his 60s, who is isolating at home and doing well.

Health experts say numbers in local communities will continue to rise, and are asking people to stay home when possible, wear masks and maintain social distancing if they have to go out.

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
