The times I have gone to the SC health dept. for information or for the COVID shots there nurses are always very caring and friendly. They make it an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much!

The health department, contrary to another review, has done an excellent job at relating the information that they receive from the State. I mean they can only post what they get. Thank you for keeping us informed with what you can. Though many may not have internet but they do have a TV or friends to receive the information. I wish everyone a speedy recovery and I wish this virus will just phase out already.

Ok here we go again . per 100,000 people Interesting shelby county dosen't even have 50,000 people live in the county. Shows they are only worried about the numbers not the truth. So if shelby county had 50k people have covid19 they would still be counting people they would be counting flies numbers . They only care about the numbers and not the truth. There has to be a starting point and a stoping point. You can't keep on counting the same people over and over but they do. More people and more money they get paid for numbers. True numbers no. This fake numbers has to stop. The only thing they can care about is power and numbers. They where losing their power now they want it back. Numbers and power. Remember they will count you even if you are not even tested. Shelby county will be over 100% one day and still they will be counting people even people that don't even live have are counted. Here we we go again the number game. We don't even have 100k people live in this county. Let alone 50k. Now where's the biohazard stations. So a deadly virus you just throw the mask in the trash when you are done. Health no plus this is coming out when it's a election again strange. So if the CDC tould the health department to jump off a bridge with out a parishout would they yes because the CDC said so.

Our local Sidney Health Dept. has ALWAYS been very helpful to me with many different concerns over the years. It takes no time at all to speak with a county nurse, get answers & results. I commend them all for doing their jobs especially during the challenging times were in with the covid. I recently went in to ask questions about covid, they went above & beyond. Thank you!
