Lt. Kenny Gibbons is currently in Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, months after initially recovering from COVID-19.
“I would say critical, but maybe stable condition at this point in time. It seems like he may have improved some overnight,” said Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box.
Gibbons is a recent cancer survivor and a longtime member of the department. In December he contracted COVID-19.
Sheriff Box says, initially, Gibbons believed he had recovered from the virus. But recently, he started having problems with pneumonia again.
“He has had pneumonia since then, and he can’t seem to recover from the pneumonia. He’s been there a couple weeks this time, and actually had to receive help from a ventilator last week,” the sheriff said.
