MONTPELIER â State officials are hoping to announce next week where increased COVID-19 testing will be offered in Bennington County, where community spread of the virus remains a serious concern.
As of Friday, the state Department of Health reported that Bennington County had 312 cases in the past 14 days, and 26 new cases. Those 312 cases are second only to far more populous Chittenden County.
Of the stateâs 107 new cases on Friday, about one out of four are in Bennington County, Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said Friday.
While thereâs a slight decrease in the regionâs numbers, and cases at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center have stabilized, âBennington County looks so much different than the State of Vermont in terms of the curve of active cases,â Levine said during a briefing on the stateâs COVID-19 response.

Vermont is allowing school and recreational youth sports teams to start playing games again next Friday, but spectators won’t be allowed, state officials announced.
The sports include basketball, hockey, volleyball, indoor soccer and football and broom ball, said Julie Moore, secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, at the governor’s twice-weekly coronavirus briefing Friday.
“As has been the case throughout the pandemic, things will look different this winter,” she said.
Indoor sports teams that involve close proximity or moderate contact will be restricted to two games per seven days and a minimum of three days between competitions, Moore said.

Vermont is now getting 22% more vaccine doses per week from the federal government than its previous allocation just weeks ago, Gov. Phil Scott announced Tuesday, Feb. 2.
Scott learned in a call with other governors that morning that doses would increase another 5%, on top of an 8% increase announced last week by the Biden administration, which is working to boost the number of doses sent to states. Compounded, Scott said, the increase works out to 22%.
That means Vermont will get about 10,800 doses a week for at least the next three weeks, a time frame that Scott said will aid greatly in planning ahead for administering the vaccine.
