Thirty-five new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed by the Clarendon Family Medical Center since December 6, according to information provided to the Enterprise Tuesday afternoon.
CFMC spokesperson Marsha Bruce said the number of active cases remained steady at 20 this week, and the clinic was not seeing any surge from the Thanksgiving holiday so far.
Donley County Judge John Howard, MD, said Tuesday that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is not available locally at this time and that the local clinic will be waiting for the Moderna vaccine, which does not require the extreme refrigeration for storage that the Pfizer vaccine needs.
The clinic has now conducted 918 tests with 271 of those being positive. Added with known positive tests on local residents conducted at facilities outside of the clinic, the total number of positive cases is 314 with six deaths.
