Local COVID-19 updates
Apr. 1st, 2021 05:33 pm( Wall-o-text: 55 high-risk communities, and the state passed 600,000 confirmed cases today )
Day-to-day, deaths are down a bit, but cases are up and tests are down, neither of which is good. The seven-day percent-positive rate is down a tad, but the estimated active cases count is up, as was the overall count of COVID-19 patients in hospital.

The figures for March 30 were 20 active and 848 cumulative cases; those for March 31 were 24 active and 852 cumulative cases. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 2PM on March 19, 2021 reported 813 cumulative cases with 9 individuals in isolation, 772 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
