Greene County health officials warn post-Thanksgiving surge could be underway - KYTV

(KY3) - On Thursday, Greene County reported a record 17 deaths pushing the overall COVID-19 death toll over 200.

”I know we continue to sound like a broken record about how significant this problem is but each one of those numbers represents a life,” said Katie Towns, Assistant Director with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.

To pay tribute to the fallen victims and put a face on those numbers, the Springfield-Greene County Health Department has put a memorial section on its website and Facebook with photos and information on those lives no longer with us because of COVID-19.

If that wasn’t sobering enough news, the department also reported 256 new cases in the county which is over a hundred more than their recent daily averages (in the 125-150 range) and not even close to the numbers from last spring when there were lock downs and closed businesses.
