âIt gives me a sense of freedom.â Anson Co. man gets vaccine as dept. stops accepting new appointments
Man snags one of last vaccine appointments available in Anson County By Caroline Hicks | January 29, 2021 at 5:49 PM EST - Updated January 29 at 8:26 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Friday health department directors across the state are making plans for the next week of covid-19 vaccinations.
Several rural counties received zero new doses this week, and are looking forward to increases next week.
In Anson County, the health department is expecting just 100 first doses next week.
Because of that, they are having to stop taking new appointments.
WADESBORO Governor Roy Cooper issued a temporary, modified stay-at-home order beginning on Dec. 11 in order to curb the spread of COVID-19, which has reached new heights over the last several months.
This executive order will place a night-time public closure on certain businesses and issue a “stay at home” order for all residents of the state and will be in effect through Jan. 8, 2021.
The state’s website states that this order is necessary due to the record highs in daily COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
Anson County is no exception to any of the rising numbers.
The county is now at 1,176 total cases as of Dec. 14 with 204 active cases, according to the Anson County Health Department. This is an increase of 71 active cases in three days.
