In the past couple of weeks, Crook County has seen an increase in cases, attributed mainly to social gatherings.  It is important to remember until everyone is vaccinated, the state mandates for mask wearing and social distancing is in place to keep the community safe. 

The Crook County Health Department will continue to actively administer the COVID vaccine to the community.   The health department is pleased to announce that a growing partnership with St. Charles, Mosaic Medical, Rite Aid Pharmacy, Clinic Pharmacy and Bi-Mart Pharmacy has reached even more of the community since these sites have started administering the vaccine as well.
