Elkhart County’s weekly COVID-19 score from the Indiana State Department of Health was downgraded from yellow to blue at noon Wednesday. Blue is the least severe of four color codes.
The weekly score went down because the county’s seven-day average positive test rate for all tests hit 4.69 percent for last week, below the 5 percent threshold that a county must be above to score yellow.
Elkhart Truth reported Mayor Rod Roberson, 62, who became eligible Tuesday to be vaccinated for COVID-19, received his first of two doses at Elkhart General Hospital on Wednesday morning, shortly before Elkhart County’s weekly coronavirus risk assessment was downgraded to blue.
