All is quiet on the COVID front in GF County

COVID-19 has been relatively quiet in Grand Forks County as of late and health officials say that’s a good thing.  The department’s Michael Dulitz updated county commissioners on the status of the virus on this week (Tuesday) saying he’s very content with where things stand right now.

Dulitz says they have gone days without any new cases of COVID but they haven’t gone a full week without a positive hit.

He says vaccine activity is also starting to tick up again.  “The vaccine activity has picked up significantly as of late as we added a second booster dose for those over the age of 50.”

Dulitz says another good indicator of COVID activity has been wastewater testing – which also shows low activity in the region.

There were just eleven new cases of COVID-19 identified in the county during the last week in March for a seven day positivity rate of less than one-half percent.
