Johnson County COVID rate at lowest in months: ‘We need to continue what we’re doing’

With the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and deaths dropping in Johnson County, public health director Sanmi Areola said the county is “inching toward” a date when restrictions could be rolled back. Areola delivered some positive news to the Johnson County Board of Commissioners on Thursday, saying that COVID-19 metrics have been “looking really, really good the past few weeks.” The county’s incidence rate — or the number of new cases per 100,000 people — was 167, down from more than 800 last fall.
