New COVID-19 cases in Greene County are on a gradual decline.
But the Springfield-Greene County Health Department says hospitalizations are still high.
More than 200 people were in local hospitals Wednesday.
The Springfield-Greene County Health Department continues to see the devastating impact of the Delta variant and low vaccination rates. Thirteen COVID-19 deaths were reported to the Health Department between Aug. 11-17. https://t.co/fHUJzmREQC

But assistant health director Jon Mooney about 45-percent of the county has been fully vaccinated.
He hopes the Greene for Vaccine program will help those numbers even more.
People who get vaccinated their first dose by September 18 will be entered to win $1,000.
