			Logan 
			County Department of Public Health Administrator Don Cavi came to 
			the podium during a press conference Friday morning at the Logan 
			County Courthouse. In the background were Angela Stoltzenburg 
			representing Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital, Kara Davis with 
			LCDPH, Logan County State's Attorney Brad Hauge, Logan County Board 
			Chair Emily Davenport, Salena Matson LCDPH Emergency Response 
			Coordinator, and Sheriff Mark Landers.
 The group was on hand to announce that the county is issuing a 
			Disaster Proclamation in response to COVID-19. The proclamation 
			opens the county up to additional resources of supplies and 
			equipment that will be needed if and when the coronavirus arrives in 
			Logan County.
 
 Cavi reiterated that as of Friday morning, there are NO confirmed 
			cases of coronavirus in Logan County. Eight people have been tested. 
			Two were found negative and the other six test results are still 
			pending.
