Donley County’s confirmed COVID-19 cases has risen to 71 this week, according to local officials.
The Clarendon Family Medical Center has had 49 positive cases since the pandemic began with six more tests currently pending. The clinic reports 227 tests have now come back negative for the virus.
Donley County Judge John Howard, MD, says the overall county figure is 71 positives with eight cases under active treatment.
Howard said he wouldn’t call the new cases a surge but did say that the county is seeing a “continued emergence of new cases” and said college students who test positive for the disease are being isolated in a separate dormitory.
“It’s not alarming at this point,” Howard said. “The disease will continue to spread in our state and region.”
