Another death from COVID-19 reported
"We are in the process of having the state assist with contact tracing so that we may dedicate more of the Health Department to our vaccination program. Therefore, we do not have any new active cases to report. However, I am sad to report one additional death, which brings our toll to 15. We did have one person hospitalized and two discharged. We hope to have new numbers tomorrow," County Judge Steve Young said.
