I want to thank all Ellis County citizens for doing their part to defeat this virus. Whether it is online learning, taking care of vulnerable populations, or simply making your workplace a safer environment, your actions have created positive change in the county. It is important to remember the information provided in the data does not simply reflect a statistic, but these numbers are representative of our neighbors, families, and friends. While I am hopeful for a positive trajectory to continue, I want to remind all citizens to continue practice physical distancing, sanitize frequently, and stay at home when necessary. Together we win. 

Todd Little, Ellis County Judge & Emergency Management Director
