In a turn of events that signals growing concerns, health officials disclosed a significant surge in daily COVID-19 cases over the past month. The average number of daily cases soared from approximately 264 to a worrisome 571, leaving many with questions about the county&#8217;s future COVID-19 response.<\/p>\n<p>During the press conference, authorities cautioned that the actual number of cases might be even higher due to the unaccounted results from at-home tests.
