/
The Greene County Health Department has issued a newsletter with current information and updates about COVID-19 in Greene County. The newsletter includes updated statistics, info on upcoming clinics, and maps and graphs reporting the number of people who have been vaccinated in Greene County. GCHD says, “We have done so well as a community in reducing the spread of COVID-19 by holding steady at the blue advisory level—low spread, for over several weeks. Unfortunately, our community has experienced an uptick in cases over the last 7 days that have increased our advisory level to yellow—moderate spread. Greene County will remain yellow until there have been two consecutive weeks of reduced positive cases. In an effort to keep the community moving in the right direction, the Greene County Health Department wants residents to spread information not COVID.”
