The daily number of new COVID cases in Monroe County has hit a record high of more than 4000 yesterday.
That milestone is over twice it was the day before.
County officials say the big jump is not a surprise. It reflects holiday season testing, testing in the schools, and the wide use of home rapid test kits.
Officials say it shows the plan to flood the county with tests is working.
The numbers of people hospitalized and in intensive care have remained stable.
