SALISBURY — Seventeen new COVID-19 cases and one new death were reported Monday in Rowan County.

The new cases bring the total to 15,089 since the start of the pandemic and 476 in the previous 14 days. The additional death brings the total to 291 since the start of the pandemic and 118 since the start of the year.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services does not provide any new data about deaths immediately after they are reported. And upgrades to the state’s vaccination management system on Monday delayed new data for several COVID-19 metrics.

An update on Friday showed 16,145 first doses of vaccinations administered and 9,674 second doses.

The Rowan County Health Department will have a first-dose vaccination clinic Thursday, but all appointments were taken Monday afternoon. The department opens appointments Monday at 10 a.m.  People can claim a spot by visiting rowancountync.gov/1671/First-Dose-Clinics. Novant Health is also administering vaccines at the J.F. Hurley YMCA for existing patients by appointment only.

Vaccines are now being administered to health care workers, long-term care staff and residents, anyone 65 and older and frontline essential workers. Find more information about who’s eligible in the frontline workers category, visit covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard/vaccinations.
