This month on WJON's Voices for Veterans segment I was joined by Barry Venable, Public Affairs Officer from the St. Cloud V.A. and Josh Goudge, Veteran Services Supervisor from the St. Cloud V.A. Barry says 70% of veterans enrolled at the St. Cloud V.A. have been vaccinated for Covid-19 including more than 90% of those 85 years of age and older.
CentraCare spokesman Dr. George Morris joined me on WJON today. He says positive Covid-19 cases within CentraCare and St. Cloud Hospital has risen to 50-plus peole with around 10-12 people in the ICU. He says the spread is happening most often in young people, those in the 16-25 age group due to sports and group activities.
