Between March 8th and 13th, 6 suspected nonfatal drug overdose Emergency Medical Services (EMS) encounters were reported in Scott County through Overdose Detection Mapping Application System (ODMAP), which represents an unusually high number of suspected nonfatal drug overdose encounters in this period. As a result, people who use drugs in or around this area should take caution to protect themselves.
