County's cases trend upward late in week

Crittenden County’s number of new COVID-19 cases rose a bit late this week compared to the previous 10-14 days. 

There were six cases confirmed on Thursday and two more Friday, bringing the county’s seven-day total to 14. It's not enough to push the county back into the state's so-called Red Zone on its color-coded COVID map, but close.

When counties are in the Red, there are stricter guidelines for preventing the spread of the virus.

There have now been 597 cases here since the pandemic began, and 21 deaths.
