With a sustained surge in COVID-19 transmission and hospitalizations locally, State College’s COVID-19 masking ordinance will remain in place through the end of January.
BELLEFONTE The Centre County commissioners got a COVID-19 progress report during Tuesday’s regular meeting.
Mount Nittany Health Executive Vice President System Development and Chief Strategy Officer Tom Charles addressed the commissioners, speaking at length about the ebbs and flows of the deadly virus and the need to get the community vaccinated.
According to Charles, the county has been on a roller coaster of sorts when it comes to the numbers of cases of COVID-19 in the community.
“We’ve been at this for some time, I don’t have to tell everybody that. It’s good to look back and remember where we’ve been on this journey,” Charles said. “We think about this in almost four waves of cases in the county last fall, Thanksgiving, around Christmas and then bumping up a little bit after the first of the year.”
