(KNZA)--The countywide mask mandate in Jefferson County has been extended.
At the request of County Health Department Administrator Crystal VanHoutan, the Jefferson County Commission voted Monday to continue the mask mandate until February 16.
It's been in place since November to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
VanHoutan updated the Commission on the latest COVID statistics. As of Monday, the county has seen 1,532 total cases, 64 hospitalizations and 24 deaths since the pandemic began.
VanHoutan said the county is now at a 7 percent positivity rate.
She said 333 people were vacinated during the first Phase 2 COVID vaccination clinic held January 26. Clinics will continue this week.
