VALDOSTA – South Health District officials warned area residents Wednesday that COVID-19 cases are on the rise while urging people to get the vaccine.
Within the 10 counties that South Health District serves – Ben Hill, Berrien, Brooks, Cook, Echols, Irwin, Lanier, Lowndes, Tift and Turner, 693 new cases were reported from July 21-28, more than doubling the previous seven days, July 15-22, when 275 new cases were reported, health officials said in a statement.
"Vaccination continues to be the most important step that individuals can take to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 as well as the new COVID-19 variants," according to the statement. "Data has shown that vaccinations currently available under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization do offer some protection against the new variants."
