Forty-one cases — 28 in the 28645 Zip code, five in 28630, seven in 28638, and one in 28601 — were reported.

The state updated its COVID-19 County Alert System today. The updated reported shows 65 counties, including Caldwell, are red, the most critical level in the three-tiered system. The alert system uses a combination of metric, including case rate, percent positive, and hospital impact, to determine each county’s tier.
