In an update earlier this week, Kaufman County Health Officer Dr. Benjamin Brashear said, in part, that Kaufman County had avoided many of the worst case scenarios originally predicted at the onset of the COVID-19 but, as businesses begin to reopen across the state, residents should remain vigilant to protect the residents most vulnerable to the complications of the virus.
