    According to the Barry County Health Department’s November 17 situational update, the percentage of positive cases of COVID-19, per tests administered, jumped sharply during the six-day period between November 11 and 17.
    The November 11 update showed 613 tests were administered during the nine-day period between November 2 and 11; of those, 48 cases were positive, yielding a positivity rate of 7.83 percent.
    However, between November 11 and 17, the health department reports that fewer COVID-19 tests were administered (338); of those, 72 cases were positive, yielding a positivity rate of 21.3 percent.
