According to the Centers for Disease Control, no single strategy can control the pandemic; instead, a multipronged approach using all available evidence-based strategies at the individual and community levels can break transmission chains and address high levels of community transmission; reduce related illnesses, long-term sequelae, and deaths; and mitigate the pandemic\u2019s economic impact.1\u200b<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jackson County Public Health reports 82 new COVID-19 cases as of 12:01 am on December 11, 2020.
