Coronavirus is still raging in county


A line was already forming early this morning
at the health department, where those 70 and
older can get a free vaccine starting at 9am.
There were 31 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Crittenden County between Jan. 1 and Jan. 5, including four on Tuesday. 

Among those was a 49-year-old female who was hospitalized. 

Otherwise, all of the recently diagnosed individuals are recovering at home. 

In the seven-day period from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, there were 50 new cases here.

Tuesday evening after just one day of in-person classes following the holiday break, Crittenden County High School announced it would be on a virtual learning plan the rest of the week due to staff quarantines. The middle and elementary schools are still having conventional classes.
