Surry County is averaging about one new case of COVID-19 per day over the past two weeks, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
While that is great news for a community that at one point was seeing more than 100 new cases a day, local health officials say the county may not yet be out of the woods.
“We are concerned about variants and vaccine resistant variants,” said Maggie Simmons, assistant health director for the Surry County Health and Nutrition Center. “Vaccination is extremely important right now, as it is our best defense in slowing the transmission of COVID-19.”
