Echoing its opposing numbers in the Springfield area, the Taney County Department of Health announced Friday that it will no longer notify the public at COVID-19 exhibits in the Branson area.
“Currently,” officials of the fitness branch said in a Facebook report, “the spread of the network in Taney County is so broad that we only know a very small fraction of public exhibitions.”
Each public position should now be considered a public exhibit, county fitness officials warned, so they will “no longer publish patient itineraries in a press release.”
The goal of the list of places where other people with COVID-19 symptoms had visited was to “help citizens assess their threat of exposure and alert them that they deserved to control symptoms if they were there,” the Department of Health said. Training

The news came a day after Taney County reported that COVID-19 had an increase of about 20% from Wednesday to Thursday.
After a two-week delay, Branson’s councillors voted 4-1 to approve a public masking order on July 28, while members of Taney County City Council, Forsyth, voted unanimously to pass a public masking order on July 20.
The Taney County Department of Health also said Friday that it is recruiting part-time public fitness nurses for responsibilities such as “working on communicable diseases.”
