Pettis County Health Center

In the latest Pettis County Covid-19 Task Force Briefing, the Pettis County Health Center is advising those vaccinated against Covid-19 to get their booster.

Pettis County is in a high-transmission, low-vaccination area.

The Health Center has received reports of 90 positive tests which were taken between July 1 and July 7.

The overarching message from Pettis County Health Center during Monday's Pettis County COVID-19 Task Force briefing is the pandemic is not over yet.

Pettis County Health Center is worried about two areas of increasing COVID-19 cases. One to our north and one to our south, which can bring more cases of COVID-19 to our area.

Given the improvement in case numbers, the Pettis County Health Center will now support the CDC guidance relating to using COVID testing to shorten the quarantine period for nonhousehold contacts from 10 to 7 days.

All residents and visitors to Pettis County are strongly encouraged to follow the practices listed in order to continue to slow the spread of the virus causing COVID-19.

This year’s theme is Building Bridges to Better Health.

A press release from the Pettis County Health Center is changing the amount of time needed for quarantine cases.

The number of COVID-19 cases in Pettis County are decreasing while our community vaccinated around 3,000 people last week.
