In addition to the normal statistics, this week I have also included an analysis as to the efficacy of masks since the Governor’s mask order went into effect in Montgomery county. It would appear that there is a significant correlation between the reduction in daily case growth and the wearing of masks. Other entities across the state seem to be seeing the same with the following two reports coming out of the Cleveland area.
