The active number of COVID-19 cases in Donley County has doubled since last week, according to the Clarendon Family Medical Clinic.
As of Tuesday, there were eight active cases of the disease, up from four one week ago.
Clinic spokesperson Marsha Bruce says there have now been 387 total positive cases of the disease since the pandemic began more than one year ago.
As always, it is important to note that those figures do not count Donley County residents who may test positive for the disease at other facilities, such as regional hospitals or other clinics.
The Moderna vaccine is available at no charge at the local clinic for everyone ages 18 and over. The Pfizer vaccine is available in Amarillo for children ages 12 and over.
The Texas Tribune reports this week that overall only 28.2 percent of Donley County residents – a total of 941 people – are fully vaccinated as of August 10. That’s an increase of only three people from last week.
