COVID cases and deaths are climbing in Sangamon County.
The county reported two more fatalities from the virus Friday… a woman in her 70s and a man in his 80s, both of whom had been vaccinated and boosted. The county has reported four COVID deaths in just over a week, after going more than a month without any.
The county is now listed as having a “high” rate of COVID transmission, and officials advise everyone to wear masks in indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status.
