St. Clair County Sheriff's Office warns of Scam

The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office has been getting a couple of phone calls and one or two reports of people receiving phone calls in the area, with the caller ID showing up as St. Clair County Sheriff's Office. 

The caller states they are an officer with this office and have a warrant for your arrest. They then state to go get an x-amount of money on a pre-paid card from a store and mail it to them.

**********THIS IS A SCAM!**********

If you have a warrant out for your arrest from St. Clair County, we'll come to see you face to face! We will never give you a phone call to let you know you have a warrant. We will NEVER ask that you go get a prepaid card of any kind and mail it to us.

If you happen to receive a phone call like this or similar, hang up the phone! Do not give them any of your personal information! Do not mail them any kind of card with money on it!

Bates County Health Center Confirms 4 new positive cases of COVID-19

August 4, 2020

Bates County Health Center has confirmed 4 more positive cases of COVID-19 in Bates County and include: Female from Drexel, Female from Adrian, Male from Amsterdam and Male from Hume.

All contact tracing has been done and any parties that have had close contact, as reported to us by the positive cases, were notified.
Any individuals advised of need for isolation and quarantine are per CDC guidelines.

At this time, Bates County has had 47 positives cases, 5 of which are currently active and isolated.

We would also like to remind individuals that if you have been tested, you should quarantine at home until test results are received—this decreases any possible exposure for others in the event your results come back positive.

With our numbers for Bates County rising, we hope everyone will continue to practice social distancing, clean/disinfect any high touched surfaces, wash their hands with soap and water routinely, use hand sanitizer if soap and water is not available, avoid touching your face (especially eyes, nose & mouth), and to stay home if you are sick. Wearing a mask in public is also encouraged. It is up to each and every one of us to stop the spread of this disease!
