Moody County coronavirus numbers have increased enough that the county has substantial community spread, according to the South Dakota Department of Health.
Latest numbers show there are 63 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county, as of Monday noon. That is an increase from 47 in the past 10 days. Of the 63 cases, 50 are considered no longer contagious, which doesn’t mean the people no longer have symptoms. An additional 787 people have tested negative.
So far, since state government has started keeping numbers, four people in the county have been hospitalized and no one has died. The county’s move into the “substantial community spread” category is different than it was previously classified because there are more than 50 cases confirmed.
