(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission on Monday received a COVID-19 update.
County Health Department/Home Health Administrator Sheryl Pierce informed commissioners there were 13 active cases in Doniphan County as of September 20.
She said Doniphan County has an about 21 percent positivity rate.
Pierce said the Health Department has begun giving an additional dose of COVID-19 to high risk individuals with auto immune deficiences. She said COVID-19 booster vaccines are not currently available.
Pierce also presented commissioners with two bids for placement of a concrete parking lot behind the Health Department building in Troy.
The Commission voted to accept the low bid submitted by Muse Excavation and Construction, of Elwood, in the amount of $16,630.
Grant funds will be used to cover the cost.
Following a hearing drawing no public comment, the Commission voted to close a portion of 265th Road in Iowa Township.
Several landowners had filed a petition seeking the road closure.
