There are 93 Nobles County individuals with reported COVID-19 infections within the 10-day isolation period, according to data released Friday by the Nobles County COVID-19 Joint Information. That’s seven more than the case count reported Wednesday.
Nobles County Emergency Management Director Tawn Hall points out that the case count is not reflective of the total cases, as the home tests go unreported to the state.
