Mary Phelps says
Is it at all possible to give the number of cases per zip code …rather then just sayong Kent County ?
Joe Lill says
Ihe State has a coronavirus website with a Maryland map that shows cases by county or by using the zip code tab you can see them by zip code. Right now it looks like after the 21620 zip code ( which seems to include Church Hill ) the next most active area in the County is the Betterton area.
marley morris says
Joe, think you meant to say Worton, not Betterton, as most “active”. The state website is showing zero cases for Betterton (zip 21610) and nine (9) cases for the Worton zip code 21678.
Joe Lill says
You’re right. It seemed that the Betterton area along the Sassafras River and Bay was highlighted a couple of days ago but now it isn’t. I’m not familiar with the actual zip codes and was only going by the areas highlighted on the map.
Bentley Orrick says
Why is Queen Anne’s County still at zero deaths? Everybody else seems to have them at 7 or 8.
