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.”

While the Pirates had a shortened 2020-21 season due to COVID-19, on June 2 head coach Jason Hamilton released the schedule for the upcoming 2021-22 season.
Last season, the Pirates went 3-6-2 overall and were taken out in the first round of the American Athletic Conference (AAC) Championship by the University of South Florida. This season, Hamilton created a schedule that will make the Pirates work hard to make it further in their tournaments.
âWe have put together a very challenging schedule for the 2021 season,â Hamilton said. âWe wanted to push ourselves in the non-conference schedule to help us prepare more for the AAC.â
