ABERDEEN, S.D. (Brown County Emergency Management Operations Center) – South Dakota state health officials have confirmed one (1) positive case of COVID-19 at DemKota Ranch Beef located in Aberdeen. The current situation will be closely monitored and new information will be released as it becomes available; the Emergency Operations Center will be assisting with coordination and implementation of those efforts.

In light of this new confirmed case, this is not the time for panic but rather a time to evaluate our individual efforts. Washing our hands, social distancing, regular cleaning, and covering coughs and sneezes. These simple actions have remarkable results in the effort to flatten the curve.
