Vermont reported only two communities in the highest category of Covid-19 case rates in the past two weeks, the fewest communities in that category since at least December.
Those two communities were Lunenberg in Essex County, with 17 cases in the past two weeks, and West Haven in Rutland County, with eight cases in the past two weeks. That placed them in the highest category of case spread, with more than 80 cases per 100,000 people.
Vermont as a whole has falling virus numbers. The state’s seven-day case average is 58, the lowest average since mid-November, Vermont Department of Health data shows.
At the same time, vaccinations continue to rise throughout the state. Addison County has the highest vaccination rate, with roughly 73% of people 16 and older in the county getting at least one dose of the vaccine, followed by Chittenden County.
Essex and Caledonia counties have the lowest rates in the state. At 49%, Essex County is the only county where less than half of the eligible population has gotten the shot.
