Public Health Advisory System Moves Lawrence County from Red to Orange.
Great news, Lawrence County! On October 8, 2020, we received notice that our county was considered “red” under the Public Health Advisory System. Today, after more than 5 months under that category, we have finally moved back to orange. The number of new cases in our county has dropped significantly. We reported the highest number of cases (102) on January 7, 2021. Over the past two weeks, we’ve had a couple days where we only reported one positive case to ODH. Today’s number is at 5.
So far, we’ve given 12,679 first and second doses of covid vaccine. We’ve already opened our clinics up to ages 18 and above, and as soon as we have Pfizer vaccine, we’ll open it up to ages 16 and older. In addition to the vaccine providers already in our county, Ohio University will bring a mobile unit every other Tuesday, beginning April 6. More information about that will come soon.
Thank you for all you’ve done to help get us to this point. While we work to get to the end of this pandemic, please continue to wash your hands, wear your mask, and social distance.
