Holiday Break Whooping Cough Notifications - The last round of notifications from our most recent positive cases will be going out today to those who were possibly recently exposed to a positive case and/or cases of Whooping Cough (Pertussis). With the long holiday break ahead of us, just a reminder to be on the lookout for symptoms and take any necessary precautions. Information is attached. Any questions can be directed to the Preston County Health Department. We hope these messages become very few, far between and non-existent, and want everyone to have a Happy, Healthy, and Safe Holiday Season.
