A spike in novel coronavirus cases continues in Crittenden County. Multiple cases, according to the contact tracing investigation, can be traced back to a church congregation, which has not been publicly named.
Today, the county received notice of two more confirmed cases, bringing its weekly total to 13. That is by far the most in a week’s time since records began being kept in March.
The latest two COVID-19 cases are a 39-year-old male and a 33-year-old female. Both are self-isolating at home. These are the 46th and 47th cases reported since pandemic conditions began in the spring.
Despite a recent rise in cases, only one person has reportedly become sick enough to be hospitalized, and he was recently released from in-patient care.
