OLMSTED COUNTY, Minn. (FOX47) Due to the high vaccination rates in Olmsted County, health officials say they are not too worried about those with the shot, but as all 50 states are seeing a rise in COVID-19 delta variant cases, some cities across the country are even thinking about reinstating a mask mandate.
“We’ve done really well as a community to come together and protect one another. As long as we keep doing that, we’re shielding ourselves against some of the toughest impacts that we’ve seen,” said Olmsted County Director of Public Health Graham Briggs.
According to the Minnesota Department of Health and Olmsted County, vaccines have been the most successful at driving down the COVID-19 case rate, and so far are protecting those with the shot from all known variants.
