Las ciudades de Beech Mountain, Boone, Blowing Rock, y Seven Devils declararon estados de emergencia el domingo después que un residente del condado de Watauga fue encontrado presunto positivo por el nuevo coronavirus, según el comunicado de prensa.

“El propósito de declarar el estado de emergencia es aliviar las restricciones financieras y de recursos, de acuerdo con los Estatutos Generales de Carolina del Norte. AppHealthCare está actuando como la agencia líder en el manejo de ésta crisis, y confiamos en la capacidad de salud pública para liderar este esfuerzo y apreciamos su asociación con el condado de Watauga y otras agencias locales para proteger la salud de nuestra comunidad,” dijo Deron Geouque, gerente del condado de Watauga, en el comunicado de prensa.

Geouque dijo que el condado aprecia la coordinación entre el Sistema Hospitalario Regional de los Apalaches, las escuelas del condado de Watauga y App State para responder a COVID-19.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
