Covid Count Keeps Climbing

The Adair County Health Department confirmed 13 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and 44 new cases since last Friday.

The department also reported the 45th known COVID-related death. A 70-year-old unvaccinated man died Tuesday.

Cases continue to be reported in the K-12 schools and there were eight breakthrough infections — people who are vaxed but got the virus anyway.

A pediatric vaccine clinic set for Thursday at the health department and an adult vaccination clinic next Tuesday.
