    This seems odd…….I want to know what neighborhood the cases are in…..it seems all information the public needs to avoid contact is being withheld. Why? Who gets hurt when they say 20 more cases in Kitty or Campbellville?

    You wouldn’t disclose that info. Owing to hurting businesses etc.It would be more shrewd to say which region etc. That new cases are popping up.
