COVID-19 numbers continue to drop

The state Department of Health and Human Resources is confirming five more COVID-19 deaths, including a 29-year-old man from Mineral County, one of the youngest the state has seen. Active cases of the virus are down to just over 65-hundred. That’s the lowest number since March. More than 46-percent of the state’s overall population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
