The 14-day positivity rate for Covid-19 testing is at 1.5 percent as of Feb. 26, reports Greene County public health director Becky Wolf.
Overall, 789 county residents have had the virus. Ninety-five residents have the illness now and 694 have recovered. Ten deaths have been attributed to Covid-19.
Wolf reports that although vaccine supply remains limited, Greene County providers are working together to administer the vaccines as quickly as possible. “It’s encouraging to see the high demand for the vaccine but it will take us several months to reach everyone,” Wolf said. “We appreciate your respect and patience during this challenging time.”
