More local COVID-19 cases, deaths reported

With the state topping 33,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases Sunday including a record-breaking 1,063 new cases listed Friday, more COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-related deaths continue to be confirmed in the area, with the Hill County Board of Health imposing some new restrictions starting Wednesday.

The Hill County Health Department tracked the average number of new cases per day last week, with the order pre-approved if the goal of averaging 50 cases a day per 100,000 people — a little more than eight per day in Hill County — nearly doubled last week.
