Four new COVID-19 cases were reported last week, as the number of local cases rose slightly but continues to remain low based on information provided by Albany’s two health clinics.

The weekly report by county judge Bob Skelton issued Tuesday reported four positive test results out of nine tests administered at the two local clinics for the period of Nov. 7 through Nov. 11.

There was one positive case out of nine tests for the week of Oct. 31 through Nov. 4.

Testing continues to be available locally at the Shackelford County Health Clinic and ResourceCare Community Health Center.

The CDC continues to recommend all eligible citizens get vaccinated with the series of two vaccines and the two follow-up boosters.

Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms can make an appointment to be tested at one of the two testing sites in Albany.

The Shackelford County Health Clinic (325-762-3661) and ResourceCare Community Health Center (325-762-2447) both offer testing and vaccines, including boosters, by appointment.
