Allegany County Elevated to COVID-19 “Red Zone” According to Governor Hogan
On Sunday, Nov. 1, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that Allegany County has now been elevated to a COVID-19 “red zone.” In Maryland, “red zone” refers to counties with 25 new positive cases per 100,000 population, according to Hogan’s spokesperson Mike Ricci. The term is also used in documents prepared by the White House Coronavirus Task Force, but should not be confused with the Maryland distinction, describes areas that report both new cases above 100 per 100,000 population and a diagnostic positivity rate above 10%. Maryland, as a state, is considered to be a “yellow zone” by the federal government with new cases between 10-100 per 100,000 population and a diagnostic positivity rate between 5-10%. In his announcement, Governor Hogan wrote that both Allegany and Dorchester counties had now exceeded the “red zone” thresholds.
According to the announcement, the daily positivity rate in the state climbed from 3.44% to 3.61% overnight with an increase of 864 cases. In Allegany County, cases have risen significantly over the last two weeks, with the two largest-ever caseload announcements coming on Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Friday, Oct. 30.
In a statement on Wednesday, Oct. 28, Governor Hogan’s Communications Director Mike Ricci said that the Governor’s Office had noticed increases in the county and that “most of the new cases in Allegany are linked to Frostburg State.” Frostburg State University released a statement in response saying that the Governor’s spokesperson’s assertion “runs counter to FSU’s information and that presented by the Allegany County Health Department.” In an article in The Washington Post on Friday, Oct. 30, Director of Communications for FSU Liz Medcalf reported that approximately 25% of all cases in Allegany County were linked to FSU. TBL reached out the the Allegany County Health Department for verification of Medcalf’s statement, but as of press time, they have not responded.
Regardless of the percentage of cases in Allegany County attributable to FSU, the cases on campus have climbed to an extent that prompted officials to halt in-person classes through Wednesday, Nov. 4. Brady Health Center and FSU news wrote to the campus community late last week to report that 12 positive tests were confirmed between late Tuesday, Oct. 27 and mid-afternoon Wednesday, Oct. 28 which represented a 60% increase in cases overnight, pushing the total active caseload to 32. Medcalf told The Post, “it doesn’t seem to be community spread, but we’re still working on contact tracing” and that FSU plans to resume in-person classes on Wednesday.
The spread of COVID-19 in rural counties, like Allegany County, has been a trend over the last month. According to The Daily Yonder, a nonprofit civic news outlet that covers rural issues, rural counties in the United State have experienced five consecutive weeks of record-setting COVID-19 rates. They report that rural counties accounted for 91,961 new infections last week, a 13% increase over the previous week. Moreover, COVID-19 related deaths are up in rural counties, growing by nearly 20% in the last week.
According to the Maryland COVID-19 dashboard, the overall testing volume in the state has remained fairly steady throughout the last two months. However, it is worth mentioning that Allegany County is the only county in Maryland that does not have a state-funded free testing center available to residents. This realization prompted FSU SGA President Noah DeMichele to send Governor Hogan a letter on July 31, just before the semester began, to request one. The City of Frostburg Mayor and Council followed suit in mid-August asking Maryland’s Chief Executive for a free testing site. Both requests were denied.
As part of their monitoring, FSU has conducted two rounds of universal, campus-wide COVID-19 testing, as well as a surveillance testing program that administers 200 tests every other week, paid for by Allegany County CARES Act funds. Nonetheless, students have sometimes been referred off-campus for testing because of “finite resources,” said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Jeff Graham during a call with students on Thursday, Oct. 29. Thus, without a state-funded testing center and a campus health center unable to provide additional testing, FSU students have had to sometimes pay out of pocket to learn their COVID-19 status. One, a graduate student in the Counseling Psychology program, said that local providers didn’t accept his insurance through Kaiser Permanente, and that he drove to Gaithersburg, Maryland to be tested because he couldn’t afford the $100 testing provided by Aeon Labs at the local PharmaCare headquarters in Cumberland. Governor Hogan has not announced any plans to expand free testing to Allegany County.
The Allegany County Health Department makes COVID-19 caseload announcements on their social media page on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. FSU is expected to update their testing dashboard regarding the most recent round of surveillance testing on Tuesday.

Hi. I see that you don’t update your website too often. I know that writing articles is time consuming andboring. But did you know that there is a tool that allows you to create new articlesusing existing content (from article directoriesor other blogs from your niche)? And it does it very well.The new posts are unique and pass the copyscape test. You should try miftolo’s tools
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything.
However imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more,
“pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site
could certainly be one of the best in its niche. Fantastic blog!

I think what you posted made a bunch of sense. But, think about
this, what if you were to create a killer headline?
I am not suggesting your information isn’t good., but what if you
added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Allegany County Elevated to COVID-19 “Red Zone” According
to Governor Hogan – The Bottom Line News is a little boring.
You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create post headlines to get viewers interested.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people
excited about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would
bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
