Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Nebraska residents 65 years of age and older are encouraged to place their names on the COVID-19 vaccination list at Panhandle Public Health District.
The number at PPHD to call is 308-262-5764. PPHD reported that more than 4,700 people have already signed up, and that they anticipate the Panhandle will receive 1,100 doses of the vaccine along with the second doses already spoken for next week.
As of Monday, Kimball County had five reported cases of COVID-19 since Jan. 14. As the vaccine is rolled out and the number of cases in this area has decreased, the PPHD risk dial has dropped into the middle of the orange or high category.
While things are looking better for Kimball County, cases still exist in the community. So, in order to stay safe, residents are advised continue to avoid crowded places, avoid close contact and avoid confined spaces.
