BEMIDJI The number of active coronavirus cases in Beltrami County has decreased significantly since fall, while local health providers continue to administer vaccinations.
As of Friday, Beltrami County Public Health Director Cynthia Borgen said her office was tracking just 34 COVID-19 cases, down from 90 in January. Before 2021, the county had been tracking at least 250 cases in December and 115 in October. We re really happy to see that, Borgen said. Although, it has stopped declining there. So, we still need people to follow the COVID guidance and be aware of where they spend their time, as most people have not been vaccinated. I know everyone s tired of that message,
