The increase in Stokes County COVID-19 numbers has slowed in recent days, but the total number of positive cases locally have topped the 3,000 mark.
Both the Health Department and the staff at LifeBrite Hospital has been focused on recent days on getting the vaccine to as many people as possible (see related story).
In the latest county Health Department statistics, released Monday, there have been 3,037 lab-confirmed positive cases, an increase of 76 since the last day figures were released on Jan. 21. That’s an average of 19 new cases diagnosed a day, way down from an average of 36 new cases a day a week ago.
