I don’t ever see us doing open heart transplant or open heart surgery in Harnett County, but I do think most people want to stay as close to home as they can for their healthcare.

Let's all do our part to #StopTheSpread of RUMORS and #COVID19. Stay away from others. Wash those hands. And only share info from reliable sources. #ShareFactsNotGerms

[Acting Secretary Chad Wolf @DHS_Wolf]

Hearing a lot about texts from "friends at DHS" or "friends with connections at DHS" that say DHS is planning a national lock down.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.

Do not believe the disinformation campaigns. Please do not pass it along. Use trusted local and federal government sources.
