County s case totals continue steady decline
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
Allen County s newly reported COVID-19 cases dropped into the low 30s Monday for the second time in a little more than a week – as numbers of fully vaccinated people in the county continued to rise.
Monday s 33 reported confirmed cases amounted to only about 5% of what the county saw on Nov. 13, 2020, the pandemic s local peak day for cases, when 608 new cases were reported.
The county reported 31 confirmed cases on May 10. The county s weekly average of new cases from May 10 to May 16 stands at 47.
Allen County has had 41,099 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 678 deaths.
Mask order ends today, but not all places
Courts, museums, others still require use of coverings
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
Indiana emerges today from the statewide COVID-19 mask mandate. But plenty of places in the Fort Wayne area – such as courts and museums – are still requiring the wearing of facial covering.
Gov. Eric Holcomb last week lifted the state s mask requirement in most settings, and Allen County Health Commissioner Dr. Matthew Sutter declined to extend a general mask requirement countywide.
Sutter stressed facial coverings would still be required in city and county government buildings, and Megan Hubartt, department spokeswoman, said Monday that local health officials believe others should follow suit.
