Below is a brief statement on the recent increase in cases.

“Over the past 7-10 days our office has seen a rise in COVID cases. The vast majority of new cases continue to be among unvaccinated individuals. The cause of this rise can be attributed to a mix of unvaccinated individuals and a decrease in prevention efforts. We continue to monitor disease transmission, perform contact tracing, and review state and federal guidelines. Our largest effort continues to be the administration of vaccine. As we see the next wave of the pandemic rise across the country, vaccines remain our number one tool to slow transmission and minimize impact. We strongly encourage anyone not yet vaccinated to do so. Furthermore, we strongly recommend those with increased risk factors, vaccinated or not, to protect themselves. This may include masks in public, limited group sizes and other disease prevention best practices.”
