The next stage of COVID-19 inoculation begins in Adams County on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
As of Jan. 14, the Adams County Health Department has reported 1,608 total cases, with 296 active, and 16 deaths.
“When all this started, we were tracking how many cases we have had since, and that number doesn’t mean much anymore because there are so many of them. But, Adams County has had, since all this started, just shy of 1,600 infections. For a county of close to 28,000 people, I think that’s about five percent, or there about. It’s enough that, when we started back in March, April and May, it was very uncommon to find someone that knew someone that had COVID-19. Now, everyone knows someone that has had COVID-19, and far too many of us know someone who had died from COVID-19,” said Adams County Health Commissioner Dr. William Hablitzel.
