No positive cases reported

No new COVID-19 cases were reported last week for the first time in several months, based on information provided by Albany’s two health clinics.

The weekly report by county judge Bob Skelton issued Monday reported eight tests administered at the two local clinics for the period of Nov. 14 through Nov. 18, with no positive results.

There were four positive cases out of nine tests for the week of Nov. 7-11.

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

The CDC still recommends that 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.
