(KAIR)--There are currently 12 active cases of COVID-19 in Atchison County.

That’s revealed in the latest statistics posted this week by the Atchison County division of Northeast Kansas Multi-County Health.

According to the agency, in a separate recent release, Atchison County had zero reported cases for almost one month; then, in the June 25 release, the agency stated that nine cases had been reported in the four days leading up to the release.

At that time, the agency stated that they were “hearing reports that some residents of the county are symptomatic and refuse testing,” adding that those who “are sick stay home and get tested,” with the agency reminding the public that “the testing is free and available” at the health department, and other locations.

Coronavirus vaccinations also continue to be provided at no cost.
