Livingston Co. COVID Numbers Calming Again

The number of new cases of COVID-19 in Livingston County are again in the single digits.  County officials report on Thursday, there were four new cases, bringing the total cases of COVID-19 in Livingston County to 1934.  The number of active cases is at 60.

The state’s data for the first half of June shows the most common age ranges of positive COVID-19 cases in Livingston County are so far about the same as the month of May, with the exception of 21-30 rising since the beginning of June.

The report states this ‘may’ be a result of variants circulating, as both Delta and Alpha affect younger people more than the wild virus did.
