 Please note—the 217 unfortunate victims of COVID-19 do not provide enough data points for a statistically significant sample. Younger people remain at significant and serious risk. All eligible Northampton County residents should get vaccinated and boosted and continue to practice social distancing when in the presence of someone who might be vulnerable to the virus.
