We are reporting 21 new cases (one resident in their 80s, one in their 70s, three in their 60s, three in their 50s, five in their 40s, four in their 30s, two teens, one grade-school-aged child, and one toddler), and 18 released, which brings us to a total of 9,897 positive cases.

We are saddened to report another COVID-related death – a woman in her 80s.  Our sympathies go out to her family and friends.  We have lost a total of 138 Vermilion County residents to COVID-related deaths since this pandemic began.

There are currently 9 Vermilion County residents with COVID hospitalized.  There are currently 144 active COVID cases in the county.

Of the 21 cases being reported today, one of them told us they have been fully vaccinated.
