Seven new cases, including a 3-year-old

There was no slowing of COVID-19 cases over the weekend. This morning Crittenden County leaders announced seven new cases, bringing the county total to 109 since records began begin kept in March. 

The county is currently considered to be a COVID hotspot in Kentucky.

The spike in locally positive cases is starting to greatly affect the community's work to get back to normal after the spring and summer shutdowns. Deer Creek Church announced this week it was closing for a couple of Sundays after reporting a positive case in its congregation and there's some indication that the high school football game scheduled for here Friday night could be derailed. Contract tracing is also affecting other facets of life, as both young and old are facing mandated quarantines.

• 3 year old female isolated at home

• 53 year old male isolated at home
• 72 year old male isolated at home
