COVID-19 Update
Cumberland County is in the middle of a surge in COVID-19 infections as the Delta variant continues to spread. According to the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH), in Cumberland County there are 701 active cases of COVID-19, which is up from a recent low of one on July 5, 2021. There have been 153 deaths as of the date of this newsletter. Datasets for additional information can be found at https://www.tn.gov/health/cedep/ncov/data/downloadable-datasets.html.

The data clearly indicates that, at this point, this is a pandemic mostly of the unvaccinated. Getting vaccinated is a personal decision and should be made by an individual and their doctor and other trusted advisors. I went through this process months ago and decided it was best for me to get vaccinated. Information for those that wish to get vaccinated is provided below.
