The number of positive COVID-19 case in the Reno County community hit 720 on Monday – more than tripling in less than three weeks and pushing the county for the first time into its highest alert level. Another 162 positive cases were confirmed among county residents since Saturday, and contract tracers at the health department are now backed up more than 520 cases – which is about the number of new cases added in just the last week. The active case count overall, including those in prison, remained at 979. That despite more than 600 cases reclassified as recovered in the past week.
