Randolph County reported 13,064 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 199 deaths as of Thursday, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is rolling out vaccines for individuals working with children in prekindergarten to high school today, leaving many teachers hopeful for relief.
Since teachers and other child care staff are in public environments that make them susceptible to COVID, they are prioritized as the first essential frontline workers in Group 3 to be vaccinated.
Initially, the state set priority to healthcare workers and adults 65 and older, who may have an increased risk of getting COVID. When the first dose of vaccines came in December, healthcare centers and partnering pharmacies opened appointments for eligible individuals.
