Local health care leaders say Greene County is far from its peak of cases of COVID-19 from the new Omicron variant.
Mercy-Springfield Communities President Craig McCoy says the data shows the safest thing you can do is get vaccinated.
He says until people get the vaccine, they have every bit as much ability to harm and even kill those around them by spreading the virus.
On Tuesday, Greene County reported 912 new infections of COVID-19, which brings the daily average of the past week up to 591 cases per day.
