The newest cases, the county Department of Health said, involve “two young adult males and one female in her 50s.”

In addition, there remains 14 active cases, 35 recoveries, four deaths, 214 county residents either in quarantine or isolation and 1,754 negative tests.

In its daily update, the county Health Department noted that the increase in confirmed cases and those in quarantine was due to “people not abiding by social distancing guidelines and gathering together.”
