Local health officials are crossing their fingers that a recent spike in COVID-19 cases won’t become a trend. At yesterday’s Wabash County Commissioners meeting, health department administrator Judy Wissel said there has been an increase in cases the last two weeks resulting in 34 individuals in isolation and 38 in quarantine. Wissel reported the county’s positivity rate now stands at 4.1% and there has been another COVID positive patient die recently in Wabash County.

The health department continues to test daily for COVID from 11 to 3. A mass vaccination clinic will be held December 16th in Albion from noon to 6. According to Wissel, the clinic will be for any first time vaccines for ages 5 and up as well as boosters. You can call the health department to schedule an appointment for that day.
