(KNZA)--A significant increase in COVID-19 cases is being reported in Brown County.
The Brown County Health Department on Monday reported twenty-six new positive cases since Friday, bringing the total to 352 since the pandemic began.
98 cases remain active, with 7 currently hospitalized.
The Health Department said the current active case count is more than their team can manage, so they are now turning cases over to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for investigation.
The Jackson County Health Department has also requested KDHE help with the investigation of their positive cases as well due to an increase in cases.
