Adams County, Miss., has averaged nearly six times the state average of incidence of new COVID-19 coronavirus cases. “This pandemic is not over,” Dr. Lee England told The Natchez Democrat newspaper. “I’ve been personally looking for another wave to come through with the British variant in the county. … I don’t know if that is what may have caused it.” The “it” England referred to is a late-week spike in cases in Adams County, located about 70 mi9les SSW of Vicksburg, Miss. The Mississippi State Department of Health reported a total of 741 new cases reported across the state in the last three days. Adams County’s 94 COVID-19 cases made up more than 12.7 percent of the new cases. The county makes up a little more than 1 percent of state’s population. (Source: Magnolia State 04/30/21)
