COVID-19 was again confirmed in Donley County last week with one new positive case of the virus.
Clarendon Family Medical Center spokesperson Marsha Bruce said Tuesday the case tested positive last week and was still active this week.
The new case is the first positive case in Donley County since April 23, but it underscores that the first has not disappeared.
Bruce said the Moderna vaccine is readily available at the clinic for anyone ages 18 and over. Insurance will pay for patients who are insured. Those without insurance can get the vaccine for free, Bruce said.
Vaccinations are also available at the Amarillo Civic Center. At that location, the Pfizer vaccine is available for those ages 12 through 17.
The Texas Tribune reports that overall only 26.7 percent of Donley County residents – a total of 893 people – are fully vaccinated as of June 15. That’s up slightly from the 24 percent that the Tribune reported as vaccinated locally on May 30.
