Will you be continuing with the Covid report so long as positivity rates remain high and the counties that you report on continue to have Covid related deaths. I was very disappointed when you discontinued the reports. We get little enough information in Queen ANNE’s County. Thank you if you do continue publishing the reports.

Thank you for again giving us the daily covid reports again! I do miss the graphs, though, the comparisons showing whether we were going up or down in a given day, week. I always felt a little buoyed to see Kent County’s numbers go down a fraction. Not so happy, of course, when the number went up. Could we get those back?
With or without the graphs, this is a wonderful service to the community.
