August has seen positive COVID-19 cases more than triple in Wabash County. When the month began, there were 30 positive cases. Now the number has spiked to 102. Wabash General Hospital chief of staff Dr. Levi McDaniel told the WGH board of directors Monday that he doesn’t expect the local cases to tail off any time soon…

McDaniel said some may feel it’s a death sentence if they’re hospitalized with COVID-19, but that’s not the case as he has had patients hospitalized who fully recovered.
