MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — After more than a year of the pandemic's devastation in Montgomery County and throughout the region, coronavirus appears to be vanishing. The county's percent positivity rate has plummeted below one percent for the first time since March 2020, as it hit 0.6 percent this week, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. There were only 57 new cases of the virus found countywide last week. The vaccination rate continues to climb, with 186,431 of the county's residents fully vaccinated. "As a result of the progress made, we've all seen the safe return of a greater degree of normalcy," Montgomery County Commissioner Val Arkoosh said last week.
