157 more COVID cases, supervisors hear about possible land purchase

In her weekly update, Sandy McGrath noted that there were 157 new COVID cases reported in the county in the last week. This is slightly down from 175 the previous week. McGrath said, “I hope we hit the peak last week and will now start to slow down, but this big jump in the last few weeks has been way higher than our peak for the Delta variant.” She added that public health is not short of test supplies, including at-home saliva tests, so people are encouraged to test.
