At this time, the prevention of COVID-19 in our county is of vital importance. Because of this, and our limited staff, we may be delayed in responding to other needs but will do so as quickly as possible. We appreciate all of the public’s cooperation as we strive to assure the community’s health.
As a reminder, the Darke County Health Department does not diagnose, test or treat Coronavirus COVID-19. If you are feeling sick or have questions about your personal health, please contact your health care provider or an urgent care provider. Emergency rooms should be used for immediate life-threatening conditions only. Also, please remember to keep 6 feet of separation distance from one another.
