COVID's deadly toll on Crittenden County

COVID-19 has killed 2 or 3 out of every 100 people in Crittenden County who have ever been diagnosed with the virus.

Since public health officials began counting at the start of the pandemic in April 2020, at least 35 individuals in this community have died.

According to figures released late last week by the Pennyrile Area Health Department, the disease has been deadlier in Crittenden County than most other surrounding communities. See the rest of this article in this week's full edition of The Crittenden Press.
