SHERIDAN —While the number of Sheridan County COVID-19 cases dwindled throughout July, a recent spike has Sheridan Memorial Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr. John Addlesperger concerned. 

“Like all of you, we’re sick of talking about this,” Addlesperger said. “But we can’t say we’re sick of it and quit doing the right thing. Now, more than ever, it’s important for people to be careful in order to avoid transmitting the virus.”
