(WTWO/WAWV) After the release of new CDC guidelines and new variants of COVID-19 being detected locally, health officials are reviewing mitigation strategies in the Wabash Valley. Per the CDC, masks should be worn indoors where there are high virus transmission rates, even if someone is fully vaccinated. Both Knox and Vigo County have seen an increase in COVID-19 positivity rates and hospitalizations. While neither area has a mask mandate, officials said this is a determining moment on what the next few months may look like. Knox County jumped from a blue county to orange within a matter of weeks and has a positivity rate of 7.7%. The Indiana Department of Health has confirmed Knox County has seven Delta variant cases and one Gamma variant case, a strain that originated in Brazil.
