CROOKED LAKE â Since Day 1 of the COVID-19 outbreak, Dr. Charles MacLean has been working in what was transformed into a respiratory clinic at Urgent Care of Cameron Hospital.
Amber Schiebel, director of Cameron Memorial Community Hospitalâs emergency department, has yet to take a vacation since the pandemic hit northeastern Indiana in March, sometimes logging 12-hour days to not only care for people with COVID-19 but the many other patients who come through the hospitalâs doors.
It was fitting, perhaps, that MacLean and Schiebel were the first two health care professionals to get inoculated Friday when the first COVID-19 vaccine clinic opened at the Steuben County Event Center in the Steuben County Park at Crooked Lake.
For the period ending Wednesday, the county had another 232 positive COVID-19 test results since Dec. 2.
This was the fifth week in a row that the county recorded more than 200 new positive cases. Over the past five weeks, the county as recorded 1,190 new positive cases of COVID-19, which is more than half of the 2,153 cases recorded dating to March.
The weekly report also noted that there are 1,579 people who are considered recovered from COVID-19 but 17 people have died.
For the first time since demographic data has been provided, the 20-29 age category fell out of the spot as leading age group for COVID-19 cases. The 50-59 age category now holds the dubious honor of the leading age group with 378 cases, four more than the 20-29 age group. Two other age groups have more than 300 cases all time, 60-69 at 325 and 40-49 at 322.
